I’ve looked at the ‘Grindhouse’ and some of the grain is actually noise, so this print will look less noisy.
I also have access to a UK Empire print, I need to get it and the rest of the German print cleaned properly (ultrasonic and buffer cleaned) which is expensive (around USD700 for 6 reels ~ 2 hours of footage) and then scanned and stored. If you want to help out, check my signature at the bottom of each of my posts.
Hopefully any missing or badly damaged frames will be in the second print, so if I’m lucky I won’t need any other sources.
In the meantime I will continue to work on Reel-1.
