We are a public library that uses the ECO-SENIOR from RTI. We purchased it approx. 6 years ago for $2800. I know they have newer/other models, but you have to call for pricing (I think). I love it. The discs look new and they can be repaired a handful of times (depending on the disc and damage). I had to send it for repair once which cost $300. It is simple to use and the supplies are also reasonable. FYI, I use it every week or two though it is made to be used on a daily basis. http://www.discchek.com/ Hope this helps, Melissa McHenry Gates Public Library Rochester, NY 14624 From: videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu [mailto:videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu] On Behalf Of Seay, Jared Alexander Sent: Wednesday, March 13, 2013 11:35 AM To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Subject: [Videolib] Recommendations on DVD scratch/repair machine or system Library Friends, I need some recommendations on good (moderately priced) DVD scratch repair machines/systems. Or can anyone point me to a site that does good objective reviews of such? I can only find company sites (no objectivity there). What are you folks using? Please feel free to respond kindly to me off list. Thanks. Jared PS: Has anyone ever created a general (or specific) FAQ site/blog/webthing based on questions asked on this list? A massive undertaking to be sure. But, how helpful it would be.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
