I'm playing and I even took some dawn dishsoap to the disc and then rinsed with distilled water and it plays perfect, now did I damage something?? I'm not sure I buy that silicone coating thing, I mean I have a turntable with a very expensive stylus and I don't think twice about wet cleaning my records??? I’m glad you tried this experiment and I’m thrilled it worked. Records...are one chunk of vinyl with no coating. Totally immune to water %100. They also work by vibrating the needle instead of modulating by variable capacitance. They are nothing alike except for the groove witch is HUGE compared to VHD/CED. Records are probably the most durable, resurrectable format ever.

Only time will tell. Its not like there are that many films on VHD that are worth it, its more of a completest format and he won't be playing discs all day every day. How many times can one watch P/S Return Of The Jedi if you own it on LD or just tape off the sides of your new TV with the Bluray

Also I don't believe it has to do with smooth or bumpy, its about dragging, since the stylus of any type is being essentially "dragged" across the surface it will depend on what that factor will do in the long run. Think I should try just rinsing with distilled water no soap?

xtempo wrote: what are the models? is it another General one? I have 2 National ones but only the DP-30 works but I don't have skipping issues only a grainy image almost like a worn tape. The General brand I have now uses a Victor stylus so it must be a Victor rebadge? When it isn't skipping the image is what I would call very good (Star Trek 2 and 3 except for being P&S looks better than some LD's). The one I have coming is a Sharp which looks like a National rebadge??
