I seem to have lost the instructions for the Rollo Pyro I purchased from B&S, my dog may have eaten it for dinner but I came across this video.
It appears that Rollo is not your run of the mill developer, it has a special pre wash? and a post wash? plus is tightly times as well, right? I read somewhere on the huge Internet that some are doing Rollo Pyro in trays, doesn't that beat all when Rollo actually means rotary. So watch the video and see if it's close to what you are doing and give me some ideas of what changes you have or would make to the process. I don't have a Jobo tank, $500.00, that the author does so go easy with the Jobo equipment recommendations.

I plan to use it first with Rollei Pan 25 in some kind of tank, any ideas what tank will work? Does anyone have the ratio of A and B and is the video correct in the use of C, Sodium Metaborate, as in the pre and post application?
Thanks,
Curt
Any others using Rollo Pyro and how are you mixing and using it with other films? Should I sack it and use my Pyrocat HD, I have that and some Xtol in the darkroom just waiting for a mix and run? I am going to do the film testing, Zone S***** and settle on one Pyro developer when I decide which one give me the results I want. I know that Xtol is not a pyro so disregard that one. I am a lifetime member of the Rodinal family having used it for three or four decades now. Time is flying past me. It will be my second developer. Rodinal and a Pyro, that's it. No need to have more for what I am doing.
