Thanks to everyone for those helpful replies.

It looks as if amidol will be more trouble than it is worth. Chlorohydroquinone seems ideal, if any can be found at a reasonable price (and perhaps it needs hazmats shipping).
Might glycin be the next best option?

Bob are there any risks or hazards with the fix - bleach - fix process? I am intrigued by your reference to the different purpose served by benzotriazole.

Don't bother with the chlorhydroquinone, it will not reduce age fog. The presense of benzotriazole in a developer has no effect whatever on the fixing process. Most Phenidone developers contain benzotrizole because it is a more effective anti-foggant for this developer than bromide.
