Does anyone know if this developer is still being made? If not what would you recommend as a replacement.

It is, in fact, discontinued.

I found a discussion about making it oneself on Photrio, <https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/r ... it.115178/>, and the TL;DR on that is that it used chlorhydroquinone, which is kinda nasty, kinda hard to get, and kinda expensive.

They also say that FG7 is inspired by Champlin #16 (Edwal 36), and there's a recipe for that.

So I guess that you might try Champlin #16 or Edwal 36, but it's not the same.
