i was shipped some ( that i eventually gave to a friend ) and there was no MSDS in the box

Thank you for the news.

There is an article with formulas and graphs at unblinkingeye.

Beware what is posted on unblinking eye IS NOT Harvey's Panthermic the formulas for which has never been divulged. As WS Gilbert put it "skim milk masquerades as cream."

Bluegrass still makes them, as of a couple months ago. And UnblinkingEye formula is wrong, by all accounts.

Google "KennyE 777" and there are some info and supposedly the real version, and his versions (yes, multiple ones) of the 777 soup.

they would not reveal the ingredients and said their guess was completely wrong
its been a long time but from what i remember from the conversation i think she even laughed.

It is of course hard to guess why she laughed, maybe you were another one in a long list of people trying to guess the contents. However, I have a problem understanding, apart from a trend towards mystique, why it should be so difficult to guess the contents. It is one thing if there was a good product and now there isn't, but the crucial question is what was so special about it that is not present anymore in any other similarly constructed developer or in any modern developer, for that matter. I am starting a new thread "organoleptic properties of Harvey's 777 type developers", because my other one, about ripening, though informative, is getting me nowhere.

kenney's proposition was they heated the ingredients in a kettle or somehow before mixing things together .. won't get me to do that
just give me some other kind of developer, thanks. im guessing the fumes given off by heating photo chemicals is about as healthy
as taking deep breaths behind a city bus ca 1970 ...

i think she laughed because the ingredients were wrong and it was getting more people interested in using the real-thing. whether UBE realized it
they were great at adertising a product that no one knew about except for "olde timers" and people that read the UBE article... i wonder if ed got a commission
