We have the Azuradisc 1500 which is an older model -- I believe the =
newer ones put out by the company are much improved. But, the 1500 is =
VERY hard to use and time consuming. I've only heard a few things about =
Azuradisc's more updated products and what I heard has been positive. I =
know the company RTI puts out competitive products and some libraries =
have been happy with the RTI products and some not. Based on our =
experience with the Azuradisc 1500, we should have waited until we had =
more money to buy a disc cleaner/scratch remover that was more advanced. =
So, I guess the the motto "you get what you pay for" would apply =
here.......

Has anyone invested in DVD cleaning and repairing machines from =

for one. They're a bit pricey and I wonder whether they can 'pay for =
themselves' in an educational setting. Are there competitors to =
Azuradisc that I should consider as well.

Many thanks.
