I decided before doing a full roll in my 100' garden hose that I would at least try a short strip and see what happened. I busted out the 40+ year old Plus x and my Keystone camera which can been seen as my avatar pinhole pic. I shot about 4 feet and lost about a foot on each end to loading and unloading. I simply unwound it into a 35mm processing tank and poured in some rather old D76 for 7 minutes then stopped with water and fixed for about 5 minutes. In the end I got about 2 feet of negative and discovered I need to tape up the old Keystone as it might have a small light leak. Thanks again, when I do the hose process I'll let you all know how it goes.

Feels good doesn't it! I got a roll of Tri X super 8 ready to try out my spiral tank. Just waiting on the chemicals in the mail.
Your Keystone can take single perf? Maybe that roll of Plus X isn't that old!
