[78-L] Cleaning Lacquers.

[David Lennick]

Don't go buying ammonia unless you plan to dilute it drastically..Johnson's 
original format Windex has the perfect amount. Accept no substitutes or bargain 
store knock-offs, don't use "extra strength" or any colour other than blue. The 
stuff you're going to remove is palmitic acid.

And it makes perfect sense to want to transfer your own discs.
