If you had to choose between having new discs printed in 2024 with any title you want modern or old, or brand new readily available styli produced at reasonable prices, what would you choose and why?

Dang, that's a tough choice. Since the existing CED catalog is pretty broad, and since most new movies are awful, I'm gonna go with styli.

Still, that's tough since there are many older films I'd love to see on CED - Hammer and Amicus films, later 80s and 90s films, etc.

Tough call.

I'd def. go with syli,because without new ones eventually no player will work.The only thing I see as difficult is the very tip of the stylus but it seems like if they were originally made 50 years ago or whatever that they could be created today. For the main portion of the cart i see no problem making a real injection mold to create that and I could do that,I've built injection molds for about 30 years and still do general machining. I think it would just be a matter of finding someone who could make the stylus and by now there may be other ways to create the stylus.
