AFAICS the only notable problems are the scratch on the video montage disc,
which might be less of a problem if the buyer solved the other problem:
lack of the remote control. The remote is only used to skip through the
montage (which is one of four sides), it's not used for anything else, so
it's not a big deal. However, I'll make the same offer I made to the BBC
mailing list when it appeared there: if the winning bidder is a list
member, contact me, as I think I have a spare remote for the player. I may
also have a manual (but probably not the complete set).

BTW, the seller appears to have the other two interactive discs that were
released for the system, in his other auctions. Of course, the LaserVision
player will play "ordinary" LaserVison video discs as well.
