#Developing Outfit (Catalog #812-1188). They sell it for $37.10 and it makes
#one quart. There is a developer, reverse developer, two bleaches, and a wash.
#It seems that this was made for T-Max film although other films (such as the

I was unaware that Tech Pan would work...!

I just got the reversal kit from Photographer's Formulary - it costs $17.95
and does four rolls. Additionally, last time I looked (about a year ago), B&H
had the TMAX reversal kit for $25.

I haven't had time to try the kit yet...

There is a lab in Wyoming that does TMAX reversal, but I don't have the
reference here. If no one else posts it, I'll try to look it up. Laramie,
I think...
