Yeah, I don't play it a lot. Most of the discs that I have are in really good shape. Some even look almost new. I found a website on the diamond discs, and talked with the web master, and he gave me a lot of useful information. He reccomended that I should have the reporducer sreviced, and see if it needs any repair. Also suggested a book, and a place to find a manual. as well as how to maintain it.
