AP reels do work in Paterson tanks (in fact, that's how I use them).

I'll check when I get home tonight to see if they adjust to 127 width.

Yes, they do.
But be careful when using the APs on the Paterson axis: it is a little loose!

They're not all that tight on the AP axis to begin with - I just junked a roll of 127 that floated during development. Next time it gets another half reel on top and some extra soup, just to be sure.

A bad axis? Would that be an axis of evil

I think that I might have mentioned this, but GAF used to make a plastic developing tank with a reel that can take 35mm 127 and 120. These turn up on eBay often enough and can be had for less than $10. Or at least I wouldn't pay more than that for one.

You'll need an old toothbrush to twist the reel, if the agitator/thermometer is missing.
