You have to get the PAL disc  from Germany, I'll dig out the link.

This is the one I purchased, and I actually got it from these guys:

They actually stock LD parts as well:

My enquiry to Pioneer's mail order retail spares company led me to this:

I'd be cheaper getting it from Germany!

However, the same site had this:
http://www.4ourhouse.co.uk/cgi-bin/product.pl?PID=3434011

which is considerably cheaper than this:

 I think that last one must be pressed to order!

(£1 = 1.16 Euro = 1.49 USD)

maybe it is solid gold??

 

The German one comes to about 45 pounds. I can always post you mine if you ever want to calibrate your LD player using the service manual.

I found a MUSE test disc in Japan going for about $150, which is actually fairly cheap. Such a shame there was never a Star Wars release on MUSE.

The Wizard of Oz: The Ultimate Oz - Collector's Edition - on Side 4 long after the movie, and 4 minutes after the Turner logo are some odd patterns. It starts with 30 frames of regular color bars and then gets into a bunch I've never seen before, with extremely high-pitched audio tones (also much louder than the movie soundtrack). In total the onslaught lasts 600 frames.
