Understanding where to access an unavailable online image

Hello community!

I was looking for my great-grandfather's date of death for completing his life story. I have some clues as I read in some accessible records that the date could be in this catalog:

https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/3514101?availability=Family%20History%20Library

Maybe with DGS: 106911217

But this link: https://www.familysearch.org/search/film/106911217?cat=3514101

Isn't accesible at the moment: Image Unavailable - This image is unavailable for online viewing at this time.

It's a bit weird, because other images of the group are accessible without problems.

So, I was wondering how to access this type of image group? If the image isn't online, can I go to a FSC or, maybe, the FS Library in Salt Lake City? I have gone to a FSC in my city, but I found no differences between what I saw there and what was seen with my user at home.

I appreciate any advice on how to continue building my family tree.

Thanks in advance.🤓

    The catalog is missing an access icon for film 106911217, but the missing icon may be the film reel, meaning "not online", because the catalog indicates its contents as "Defunciones, 3241 (ciudad), 1929", and privacy restrictions are often a simple "100 years". (I have no idea what law or contract actually applies to these Argentine records.)

    You could try reporting the missing icon using one of the emails in the Help Center article. If it does turn out to be not online, I believe you can (theoretically) view the film at the main library in Salt Lake City, but not at an FSC or affiliate library.
