One easy and very inexpensive solution for developing tech-pan is to use Rodinal at extremely high dilutions. 1:100 or 1:200 with a modified stand development (agitate for 15-30 seconds, tap for air bubbles and let tank rest for 3 minutes - do this about 5-7 times). I used this method with apx25, and tech-pan responds with quite similar results. At extremely high dilutions, Rodinal acts as a compensating developer, and has remarkable edge effects. As there is not much developer, you need to use a larger tank than normal - and without continuous agitation as it will exhaust the developer rapidly.
