If you are willing to mix your own, try the PC TEA developers by Patrick Gainer

PC TEA is fantastic. Sort of like a cross of the best bits of Xtol and Rodinal. It's easy to make, very econimical and lasts for ages, even after it has turned from pale straw to black tea (!).

I dissolve the phenidone in a little alcohol before adding to the Vit C and TEA, as it makes it easier to mix.

PC-TEA is a great suggestion. I had not thought of that one.
