HI All,

Just joined this group after being told about it by an existing member.

I've just joined the ranks of the LD fans , by getting my hands on - Philips VP410 x2 & VP415 (Domesday System).

Am really interested in disc maintenance and how i should care for this ageing tech , any help and advice would be great.

How to avoid and treat disc rot? , Best ways to clean a LD-ROM disc or any other LD for that matter, Lens cleaning......etc etc.

Anyway , just thought I'd say 'Hi'.

Sounds like good advice to me

I'm hoping not to accumulate too many , as these things are huge , but spares also hard to come by now.

Thanks for the welcome.

Not everyone lives in the Craigslist nirvana of suburban USA Dutchmin..some of us in the far flung corners of civilisation have to take what we can get and try try to preserve and maintain it.
