Following on from @Lydie’s post on CED videodisc players, I have this one for nostalgia reasons! That and it makes a nice piece of artwork for display. This was one of the 50 free discs my dad got and yes, I played it until it was worn out 😄 #CED #VideoDisc #TheWho

How #RCA's #VideoDisc Failure Became a #Semiconductor Success Story. This #HomeVideo Wannabe launched a scanning #microscope. RCA expected the VideoDisc to capture half of the home video market, but instead it lost out in a big way to #VHS. But the exquisitely sensitive capacitance sensors used in the VideoDisc players were capable of measuring capacitance differences on the scale of attofarads (1 × 10-18 farad), perfect for the scanning capacitance microscope (#SCM)!

Note: this is not the LaserDisc.
"In 1981, RCA filed a patent for the SCM [scanning capacitance microscope] on behalf of company researcher James R. Matey. The microscope was an unintentional by-product of the VideoDisc technology the company had been struggling to bring to market since the mid-1960s."
