As long as we're discussing Swank print #4 of Raiders, I'll add: Although we rated that print "Fair," that was probably due to severely diminished expectations. Swank print #4 looks really crappy, like "gosh, a 20-year old film really gets beaten up" crappy. Very noticeable fading (to SP brown, not Eastman pink), heavy black, white, and green scratches throughout. Reels 4 and 5 were just worse than the others.
OTOH, there's a very nice one-year new polyester print of Raiders around. I suspect you'd have to go through Paramount repertory, not Swank, to get it.
Frank Angel has quite a bit of info on getting a quality print of Fantasia. Might turn up with a search of the forums.
