[78-L] For old timey TV fans..slight 78RPM connection

[David Lennick]

I picked up a MEDIC set a few years ago. Only 8 episodes, I think, one of those 
supermarket sets. Quality was what you'd expect from old TV prints, but 
watchable (lousy audio). The same for a 5-disc set of DRAGNET from Madacy that 
Costco sold. I'd love to have more of those.
