Old, exposed 127 film

[jpa66]

So I was rummaging through some of my stuff left behind at my parents' house recently, and I discovered a roll of 127 exposed film ( along with an exposed roll of Kodak Verichrome Pan 620 ). I figured that it might be fun ( or frustrating 🙂 ) to develop the film. I have a vague idea of how to develop the Verichrome Pan, but none whatsoever for the 127, as it doesn't have any make or brand name listed on the film ( although it does say "all-weather pan" on the paper ).

Does anyone have any experience with developing outdated, unknown film in general, with 127 in particular? Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Sounds like the same situation this guy was in: http://www.geocities.com/heidoscop/127TLRs.htm

Except he did have some indication of the type of film. Good luck and let us know!

Thanks for the info, gentlemen. I did some further research and may actually try to develop it in Rodinal at 1:100 and see how that works out. Either that, or I may simply take up Andrew's suggestion and develop it with some other film.

Thanks again,
JP

Well, I finally got around to developing the film tonight, and lo and behold - nothing! Whoever had it in their camera must have taken it out and sealed it as exposed, as after development, the film was clear ( a little fogged ( and only a little ) but I expected that ). Not that I was expecting to see pics of the transcripts of the missing Watergate tapes or anything, but it would have been nice if something was shot on it!

Oh, well...
