go with the most likely scenario which is your re-rolled film is messed up

You could get a nice Rolleicord V from a reputable source for less than $500. Will give you the results you want.

I would try this: http://stores.photoformulary.com/td-3-techpan-developer/

If you value that film at all I would buy ALL NEW chemicals. Not worth the heartache. I have lost a few roles over time and it can be devastating if it is something important.

Call Eric at Pentaxs.com I had this issue after he did a CLA and he knew what the problem was. I guess it wasn’t part of a normal CLA but I sent it back and he fixed it.

Sounds like a trip to https://pentaxs.com/ is in order. Probably cost $250 for a full working over.

Wouldn't one of these old university projectors work? I think you'd have to put the slides between glass. https://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-SPENCER-AMERICAN-OPTICAL-MODEL-GK-DELINEASCOPE-PROJECTOR-W-CASE/233759000114?hash=item366d1f4632:g:AbgAAOSw6XZfl2Wg

Did you buy them new or used?

scrub the reels with a toothbrush soap and water. air dry 24 hours. always rinse the reels with plain water after you remove the film from the photoflow rinse. I think its the photoflow that causes a lot of the stickiness.

That's like brand new for Tri-X I wouldn't do anything different.

PERSONALLY I would stick with my 6x7. Much cheaper, relatively fixable. If I drop it, it's not the end of the world. The lenses are the same obviously. The light meter works OK but for serious work I would use an external meter.

PM sent. I'll take them if still available.
