I would be very interested in a frame distribution model being setup for restoration.
It would have its problems, but would be a useful tool.
I’m happy to donate say 30 seconds of footage to be restored as a test, PM me as I am leaving the forum shortly, and can give you an email contact.
I really think the idea has merit, and could be useful in a multitude of ways, plus it could be a fun community project, people could use whatever tools they have to clean up their frame, and the results would illustrate a bunch of things about restoration that I would love to explore with the community.
Part of the problem is evident in the frame you cleaned up, (which you did a pretty nice job on BTW).
For instance, take a look here:

You can see the duplicated area down a bit and to the right of Luke’s snozz, on the next frame that duplicated section will look different, so that detail will pop in and out of existence, resulting in the background ‘chattering’.
But, there are ways around this kind of thing, and I think it would be a useful experiment, and a way to get the entire community involved.

So my vote is Make It So!
