So until we find out what he has, if anything, might as well keep improving our skills by working on a remaster.

Well we’ve already seen a list of at least some of the scans he has done, so I don’t think the “if anything” is really valid. But you’re correct that you’re proceeding how you best can, given that you don’t have those scans or know when it would be possible.

What he has scanned doesn’t really tell us what shape it is in. What we need to do a proper restoration is a scan that contains a proper starfield and the final frame. If he has something like that and someone with the right skills restores it (stabilizing and removing damage) then what I’m trying to accomplish can be scrapped, but if it isn’t complete than my project might serve as a guide to fixing it. I really hope he has something. That is what I really want.
