Jack,
Here's the info copied about verbatim from Dignan's book:
Diafine Substitute

Solution A
Water 750.0 ml
Sodium Sulfite (anhydrous) 35.0 gm
Hydroquinone 6.0 gm
Phenidone 0.2 gm
Sodium Bisulfite 6.0 gm
Water to make 1.0 liter
(Same weight per liter as Diafine A - dry ingredients)

Solution B

Water 750.0 ml
Sodium Sulfite 65.0 gm
Sodium metaborate 20.0 gm
Water to make 1.0 liter
(Same weight per liter as Diafine B - dry ingredients)

Instructions and results are the same as Diafine. Too grainy for me but gives
more than a stop true speed increase. If 20 grams borax is substituted for the
Sodium Metaborate, the results are like that of D-76 with the advantages of
non-critical temperature, etc. of a two bath.

Good Luck!
