Try XTOL 1+1 according to the instructions from Kodak (5 minutes at
20C/68F). This is the time that works in my Jobo. With intermittent
agitation (i.e. by hand) you may need a longer time or lower EI. In any
event, if you have not done your own processing for 25 years you should
shoot a test roll and determine your own processing time.
