With the little bit of music underneath, it'll be tricky, but so is just about everything else you're tackling in the restoration. Having gone through pains over the whole "wesa free" issue -- just locating another source and then finding a matching edit point that didn't make the splice obvious -- was a task. Getting something as simple as this klunk out is going to be fun, in a dentist drill kinda way. I hope you'll share the techniques and process with us in detail. As an audio guy, I'm keen on learning.

It'll be easy. I'll be using an earlier soundtrack. The DVD version is a technical and creative tragedy of such dystopian proportions that those responsible should be drowned in vats of their own liver bile.
