I have a lot of laserdiscs. Last count had it around 210. Since we moved almost 2 years ago, about half of these were stored in the basement in what I thought was a stable box.

Well, it wasn't.

Apparently the box had shifted and moved around a lot, and ended up with the discs leaning over on one side, where they stayed for a year. The end result is I now have a dozen or so burrito shaped laserdiscs.

I've reconfigured the stack, and owing to the fact that laserdiscs weigh a helluva lot, I've placed the 'bent' discs interleaved at the bottom, and placed the rest on top of them. Hopefully this will restore some sort of flatness.

If I have to write off the bad discs, it won't be the end of the world. Most are available now on DVD (and have the benefits thereof, like better resolution and added features and stuff), but I don't like having to replace movies I already own.
