Ansco 120 is a so called low contrast developer containing Metol as the only reducing agent. Kodak Selectol Soft is (was) very similar although there was no published formula for it.
Since the Glycin in 130 is quite expensive its likely that a Dektol type developer (Kodak D-72) could be mixed even cheaper.
Yeah, glycin is rather pricey, but who cares when it lasts so long in the soup? And a glycin developer doesn't show quite the same properties as an hydroquinoine based one as Dektol (with all due respect to D-72). It's much warmer, something that I have come to appreciate. Dektol is more neutral.
