Hello. I purchased an unused box of Anscochrome developer, without instructions. Does anyone know where the instructions could be found? Also looking for instructions for Ansco Color developing kits.

Thank you

Google will be your best friend on this one. Everything is on Google. Finding it is the trick...

This said, there is only one instruction you will need to know. Chemicals this old are long dead. Nothing will come out.

Keep the kit as a lovely shelf queen. Unless of course you have a stash of ancient Anscochrome films. In which case, Ebay will be your best friend. Sell them for a fortune. As I did with some old Panatomic-X 120 roll films. I would greatly enjoy telling you how much I got for this film, but I won't - the tax office will be after me.

I found a 60 year old Ektachrome E-1 kit . Everything dry powders sealed in cans . I got some great slides with Provia rated at ASA 32 and I developed at slightly higher temperature than recommended .
There used to be a handbook where all the different manufacturers processes were listed . Seems like the publisher was Morgan . ..
