Just unboxed my Pentax after a big move, and it had a roll of Delta 100 in it. I'm not settled enough to make a big Freestyle order, but would love to get this roll developed and see what's there. I have some D76, which I hope is about the same as F76+, but there's no fixer.
Ordering just one thing can be pricey due to the shipping, and the thread about using pool chemicals never seemed to have a definitive answer on DIY fixers.
Any idea where to go for some cheap fixer?
TBH a lab would be cheaper for a single roll.

During World War II the US Navy had its photographers use ocean water.
If you are in a hurry, buy TF-5 and be done with it. Or mix one of Ron's Superfix formulas if you need yet more speed and are ready to mix it yourself. You can easily pep up the speed of a Sodium Thiosulfate based fixer with Ammonia and Acetic Acid, but that again requires ingredients and really only pays off if you process dozens of rolls per year.For a film like Delta plain sodium thiosulfate is a slooooooow fixer though.

Search here for Ole Fixer - OF-1.
Can anyone re-post Ron's Superfix formulae? I was unable to find them. It's been some time since they were published and some posts were deleted.
Ammonium Thiosulfate 60% | 200 ml |
Sodium Sulfite | 10 g |
Ammonium Thiocyanate | 10 g |
Thiourea | 10 g |
pH ---> 6.5 | water ---> 1l |
Thank you juan, koraks and Rudeofus.
@Rudeofus. Excuse my ignorance, but I understand that you need to adjust pH to the target of 6.5. How do you adjust it in this formula?
