Also the check staions use a prismatic shutter system that is at best flawed

Yea we had sound problems on one of our prints too. At the beginning of reel 2 the sound cut out for 10 - 15 seconds and near the beginning of reel 6 we got what sounded like a feed back going through the speakers. The problems seem isolated to the SRD track for some reason because it runs fine in DTS. I informed Technocolor of the problem but didn't bother ordering replacements reels. When it comes time to drop one of our prints (you know when that space movie opens) I just make sure that this ones goes first.

Michael,

It might be wise to post the print number you are currently playing with the sound issues here, os the next theatre that gets it will be aware that it has a problem as well. What happens if the next theatre has no DTS unit?

Also, you might want to put a note in the cans stating such... Just in case...

Here's how the silver is redeveloped in current dye+silver analog soundtracks:

The soundtrack redeveloper is a thick, viscous, caustic liquid that is applied to only the soundtrack area during processing with an applicator wheel or hopper. If the developer spreads or splashes into an adjacent picture area, silver will be developed there too, resulting in a dark colored "blotch". If there is a problem, it is usually caught during print inspection, but some defective reels may get missed and need to be replaced.

Here is the information about silverless (cyan dye) soundtracks:
