I vaguely recall that mid size machines can be built
with LP 'vinyl' phonograph records.

Not so decorative as glass, or plexi, or ... but a lot
more available.  (flea markets, yard sales).

(OK:
	How many people don't know what a phonograph
	record is?

Small machine from discarded AOL CDs?
	(yes: There is a Al inner layer...??)
