Yes, the funds are for cleaning the UK print, as it has way less fade. If we get that done and there are funds left over, I will get the DE print cleaned as well.

Unfortunately it turns out that Reel2 (at least) of the UK print has mould damage, which isn’t clear until you get it cleaned, and unfortunately there is no way to remove all the mould safely, (it is showing up as red flashes on some frames) so we will need to replace some of those scenes with ones from the DE print.

In the short term I will scan the DE print without cleaning it so that we can get the replacement frames for Harmy, with the hope that we can get the DE print done properly down the track.
There is another SW IB Tech awaiting cleaning as well, and other Jedi LPP, so there is a bit of a backlog.
