5 reels
flat/1.85
mono (unusual track--looks like a "negative" of a standard optical track, though I forget the actual term for this)

MPAA rating: GP (not a typo)

has old-style MPAA rating band at head of R1

original prints are Eastman and likely quite faded

I just handled print #00001. It was on Eastman stock dated 1982 which was faded to red. The heads and tails were a bit rough. It was a normal soundtrack (mono, dual bilateral VA).

That was just at the time of conversion to the improved EASTMAN Color Print Film with improved image stability:
