I recently purchased everything a former LD tech owned related to laserdisc. Included was this Philips code test disc. The best part: it is a box that Magnavox shipped on July 29th, 1981. The disc contains test frames as well as excerpts of what I believe is Sting, The (1973) [11-001]. I am assuming this disc was made to either check or test players with Philips code before it became part of the Laservision standard? Does anyone happen to know more about this?

That is what I am trying to discern, but I won't be able to properly check them out until next week. I was using one of them after I got it just like the other GGVs though (at least 115 and 475 are the same). I'm going to map the appropriate Sony reference frames to the Pioneer ones as well. GGV-129 is the absurd screwdriver they made for centering and tangential adjustments from the CLD-3070 to the CLD-D702 era.

I was thinking you could warp a cheap 8" disc instead? Or maybe glue a weight on the top side, but that might be a dangerous game of "How much weight?".

I believe this can be done using your cell phone, although I'd have to do some research to figure out exactly how to do it. I think there might also be people who can do it, if you trusted them to return the part to you.
