I think 4-aminophenol is the same, just a different name. Searching for this gives me results from general chemistry wholesalers. I'm not 100% sure it's the same but if it is you can probably get it cheaply at whatever chemicals wholesaler is near you.

I hope you have better luck in mixing your own Rodinal than I did. My version had a different strength than the manufactured stuff. I did a couple of rolls using my ordinary times and they didn't come out very well. I would have had to start time and EI experiments all over again. I went back to the real McCoy and used my homebrew as a paper dev.; worked ok there.
While it's not exactly rodinal, I've been shocked at how easy and cheap parodinal is. It's dirt cheap too since you can buy enough Tylenol to make 4 liters of the stuff for under $10. I haven't done scientific testing comparing the two but the development times are the same and by eye I get results that are indistinguishable

I was watching "Pictorial Planet" & the presenter explains how to make Rodinal & why. The why, was if Rodinal was ever taken off the market one could make their own. I hope it never is but I thought why not give it a try. So, I haven't tried it yet but when I don't have any thing else to do I'll try it. Sorry your batch wasn't as strong as it should have been.
Thanks for responding
