Eric has written a very good outline of the problems and considerations needed
when handling and transferring lacquer coated discs in general and of any size,
not just "ET's" (Electrical Transcriptions).
For those of us who lived the era of their use, most of the problems were
obvious, but none of us expected the deterioration and decomposition that is
being encountered today.
I actually cut 16" lacquers, as well as thousands of LP masters while I worked
for RCA Victor in the early 1960's... a long time ago in a galaxy far, far
away, and yes, it was a great adventure!
