Thanks to every one for all your help! Sorry this response is so late in comming, I didn't realize my question was still up there! It was supposed to have come down months ago! Any way, The advise you all gave me was great but unfortunatly, I screwed up! I added an inhibitor to the D-76 and nothing came out! Oh well, thanks again anyway!

was wondering what happened... maybe there was nothing there to start with.

Just to add my little bit to this theme, I processed some 15+ year old Kodak Plus X the other night. They had been rolling around a box of junk all that time. Haven't printed them yet, but the negs look ok, maybe a little base fog but it was pushed 1 and 2 stops and I was guessing as to how much development time I should use with Ilfosol S so overall, pretty pleased with the result.

I found an old Kodak Retina camera in my Grandfather's junk drawer. I was told that it was carried by my dad during WW2. I found an unidentified brand roll of German film in it! I processed it in HC110 and the images came out kind of contrasty, but printable. They were shots that Dad took during Patton's push into Bavaria in March, 1945.
