Kodak had two replenishers for DK-60a. The published formula is for general use but they had a second version for use with continuous machine processing which was available only in packaged form. Here is the first, there is no published formula for the second but it was probably somewhat more concentrated since it assumed less carryover of developer. Kodak DK-60aTR For Deep Tank (Hand Processing). Water, at about 125F or 52C 750.0 ml Metol 5.0 grams Sodium sulfite, dessicated 50.0 grams Hydroquinone 10.0 grams Kodalk 40.0 grams Cold water to make 1.0 liter Dissolve chemicals in order given. The general instuctions of the time were to add 1.0 oz of replenisher for each 80 square inches of film. Specific instructions for DK-60aTR are to add 8 gallons of replenisher per 1000 rools of film processed, obviously aimed at machine processing. These replenishing rates assume the total volume is kept constant. Note that Kodak gives instructions for replenishing DK-50, which is quite similar to the above at 1:1 dilution. So that is probably OK with DK-60a also although it may not work at 1:3. The replenisher rate is reduced to suit. -- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles, CA, USA dickburk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ============================================================================================================= To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there.
