The pattersons are a joy to use, I have a 2 spiral from my father's (~50 yr old) and a 1-spiral that I bought in 1999
One of the tricks is to clean the spirals once in a while using an old toothbrush.
The photo-club guy at the University taught me to use bicarbonate+water paste to clean them (they were very gunky after 30 years) and after that I clean them eveyr 10 rolls or so to keep them in tip-top shape
There are a few 3d-printing models for accesories such as this 4x5 reel for the 3-spiral tank

Re: Happiness is a new tank
Count me in the bicho raro set!
I only have the 35mm version.

Re: Happiness is a new tank
Anyone here using the Lab-Box for 120 film (or even 35mm)? The concept looks great but I have come across some negative user experiences on the web, so I keep loading 120 films on my Patterson tank.
