A turn-table is a round platform with wheel below it allowing it to turn on its
vertical axis. Used by railway folk to turn around engines and carriages, and
chinese restaurants in the centre of large tables so that the dishes could
revolve around to the convenienience of each diner at the table. You must have
seen a simpler execution in stereo systems? A very useful product. John

By the way, Novus is great for cleaning up turntable dust covers!

Nooooo. Don't sand it! Buy Novus Plastic polish #2. It will remove all the
scratches. Novus makes some great polishes. There come in strengths, #s 1, 2,
and 3. 1 is a light polish, #2 is the most often used. #3 is for heavy
scratches. Great for anything plastic like watch crystals (plastic type),
microwaveoven front panels, motorcycle windshield, etc.

I have found that smearing washing-up liquid on a cd and rinsing in warm
water often removes small 'unseen' marks which can prevent a disc from
initially being read. This does not remove scratches but I have found that it
does help in a lot of cases. For deeper scratches, I would guess jewelers rouge
or plastic polishing compound applied gently on a polishing mop would work
quite well.
With reference to longevity last week: in 100 years, no one will know what
a CD is other than a shiny plastic disc. A vinyl record will show as a disk
with grooves. People will soon discover that by inserting a pin in a piece of
paper, resting the pin on the disc and rotating the disc, sound will emanate.
Ideal rotational speed would be easy to guess from the sounds. Similarly with
film, it will be something which is easily deciphered. Magnetic media or CDs,
with all the different formats, will be a challenge to understand.

I found a piece of 600 grit that had white on it, which would have been
the material removed from the disks. I don't remember whether I used it wet or
dry but would think that it was wet.
Interesting. I would have thought even 600 grit is too coarse, but what do
I know? I wonder if the particles of plastic suspended in the water contribute
to the polishing effect. I'll try this on a couple of unrecoverable CDs and
report back. Thanks for the tip.
