I think in discussions of old film processing the adding of a restrainer was
not recommended. There will be fog more than likely but a restrainer probably
won't help.
a 7-12 minute development will probably be OK.

Subject: [pure-silver] Developing Univex ultrachrome No. 00 film
Hello all,
A neighbour recently gave me a box filled with old cameras and film. Inside, I
found 4 rolls of Univex ultrachrome No. 00 film and it is marked EXPOSED. What
information I have been able to find states that it was made in the 1940 by
Gevaert of Belgium for Univex. A label on the box says that it should be
developed by 1949.
Since I can't let sleeping dogs lie, I want to try developing the film. I have
no idea regarding the film's ASA and no info is forthcoming on the
Internet..... So....
Anybody have a clue as to the possible asa of this film and what would be the
best way to proceed with development... All ideas are welcome. I have four
EXPOSED rolls. and I still have my 3.5 gal tank of stock D-76 which I was
going to dump but decided I could develop the film by dunking it in the tank.
Probably have to add Benzotriazole to the D-76..... how much per litre/gal?
Anything else I can try? I'll do one roll at a time, so I have 4 trys at
finding the right combination to adequately expose one roll of the film.
Thanks for any ideas...
Cheers,
Bogdan K
