I am down to my last unopened Dixactol kit, and I just found out that
Photographer's Formulary is not selling it now since the death of Barry
Thornton, due to legal issues involving Mr. Thornton's Estate. Is there any
other source of this developer in the USA? I really would like to keep using it
if possible.

Thanks,

Mike Sullivan

I don't believe any other U.S. supplier had rights to produce it.
Barry's family & others are still trying to re-open his store, and the
Formulary is supposedly trying to set up a license to sell his more
popular products, but it could be a while (if ever).

I bought my first Dixactol kit shortly before the supply was cut off.
It has sat on the shelf unopened, and will stay that way unless
someone starts selling it again.
