Thank you, gentlemen, for your comments about the scratches seen in the scene mentioned by Steve. As I have not had the chance to read any other reviews, yet, I was curious as to how those appeared to others. As I mentioned before, I didn't think that had anything to do with the quality of the DVD itself. Definitely a flaw in the original print.
My understanding is that Warner Brothers searched literally everywhere to obtain the best quality examples to use in this DVD set. Hopefully, the remaining seven films will appear in a subsequent set or sets. Sales numbers will be key, I understand, in their final decision.
I have yet to see "The Chinese Ring," and, from what you have said, it sounds wonderful! Yes, it will be nice not to hear the echoing, etc. present in the copies we used to watch!
