Info Wanted: The Capacitance Star Wars Copies? (CED)

Most CED discs I've seen are just slightly better than VHS.

That's what I grew up watching, although not having seen it in 15 years I can't really comment on the quality.
My mom might still have ours. Last I saw it was in a crate in her basement, although the player is shot.
I watched them so much I put a skip into ROTJ, and it makes my wife chuckle when I quote the garbled line with the skip.

However, in practice you must take into account the “fuckwit factor”. Just talk to Darth Mallwalker…

Shame it's P&S, because that actually doesn't look too bad in terms of quality.

Yeah, with it being P&S, I never got to chuckle when the Star Destroyer gets asteroided and the hologram fades out until the Special Editions came out and I finally had it in widescreen

Gasp! double posting! *smacks self*

Anyway, my mommy still has our old CED's. So hopefully in the near future I can find out what I need to fix our player (I think it's just one little tiny piece and maybe a new needle) and I can slap those puppies onto DVD's to preserve the Star Wars of my childhood in all its pan & scan, multiple-sided, 3% speed increased glory, complete with the Emperor's skip-induced speech impediment:
"Soon, the-rebel-wi-be-cru-an-youn-Sky-ker-ill-be-n-f-us." <-- I will try to fix that, but I can't make any promises. If I can't, it'll just be that much more amusing.

Incidently, Smurfs and the Magic Flute doesn't seem to be out on DVD, so I may as well DVD-itize that too for my daughter while I'm at it, plus we have this bizarre fairy tale CED called The Nightingale starring Mick Jagger.
