Title: Not much to go on.... any ideas? Post by: Iron Giant on June 09, 2014, 06:54:51 AM I found this yesterday, a little clean with a toothbrush and tooth pick then a fibreglass pen. I thought it was a blank George III disc when i dug it but the embossed areas are metal and not crud. Any ideas on what it is?
Many thanks ;) Title: Re: Not much to go on.... any ideas? Post by: Iron Giant on June 09, 2014, 11:51:37 AM Will post the other side later, for some reason it didn't attach earlier

Usually you wont gain much by trying to clean a blank disc, usually it just becomes a shiny blank disc.(the design went years ago) Its something most of us have done at some point in the past >:( Title: Re: Not much to go on.... any ideas?

I know what you mean, when they are that bad though you have nothing to lose by trying to clean ;) Below is the other side which didn't upload this morning ;) |
