Filmvetenskapliga institutionen	2018-05-14					Testkördes i maskinrummet innan visning och kopian går att köra i Filmhuset men den är alltså väldigt sliten: "Nu har jag inspekterat och kört kopian på Frankenstein. Körde akt 1 och 2 i Julius och 3 + 4 i Victor. Jag tycker att den beter sig helt ok, behövs inget exceptionellt skentryck eller annat för att köra. Däremot kan det vara en god idé att hålla koll på kopian om den hamnar i Filmvetenskapens repertoar så att inte de skador som finns blir värre (små perforeringssprickor)."
