***********************
   For many years, I used an (ancient) Root two-frame, reversible
extractor. Kelly sold me stainless extractor baskets for it. I coated
the old Root tank with epoxy (from Kelley).
   Then, by a stroke of luck, I was given a Kelley stainless steel tank,
two-frame, reversible extractor. The Kelley seemed to be a copy of the
Root and the Kelley parts did not seem to work together as well as the
old Root parts.
   So, in the end, I used the stainless steel tank and baskets with the
old Root hardware (crank, gears, framework).
