He had a Tiffany lamp, and antique dining table, and a laser disc video attached to a Sony Trinitron,
but foam cushions on the floor rather than sofas and chairs.

Mint markings are located at the outer flash and hand etched. While the mint marking for side 2 could be read, the mint marking for side 1 was virtually illegible.

There are no chapters encoded on side one, and two chapters encoded on side two.

A letter was enclosed with the disc to inform the sales staff of a content inaccuracy, you can see it here.

My copy contains what appears to be a facsimile of a letter given to Magnavox dealers. The letter comes from Kenneth C. Thomson (VP and General Manager of Magnavox Operations). It states that there was an error on the first point made on the comparison chart between Magnavision and RCA Selectavision. The claim was that the RCA discs do not suffer any wear from continual playing (which we all know now was completely false).

Also, my copy is heavily rotted with speckles all over the screen and the analog audio is heavily distorted.
