[ARSCLIST] Visual evaluation of 78s

[John Ross <johnross@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is there a set of established standards for visual evaluation of 78 
rpm discs? I'm working with the owner of a significant collection to 
catalog the discs and ultimately transfer them to digital form. I 
would like to include a preliminary note about the apparent condition 
of  each disc as part of the preliminary catalog.

Obviously, the ultimate evaluation of each disc requires playing it, 
but as a first step, I want to go with a visual examination.

So I will welcome your pointers to any kind of commonly accepted 
terms for describing 78s. Thanks in advance.
