Wow! That is so cool... It looks to be a copy (if not the original) first successful pressing. I wonder what is on it? If I bought it, I could not resist putting it into a caddy and playing it, more than likely ruining it in the process LOL! Therefore, I will just sit back and watch. |

The VideoDisc in that frame is "Lum Fong," and it contains a portion of an episode from the "Get Smart" TV show. There was a featured CED on it a few years ago:

The disc would not be playable on production CED players, as it's metallized, and the groove geometry is different.

I'm not aware of any "February" players, but there are a few of the later model prototypes in collections and museums.
