Click to enlarge. Nothing but a strange and creepy confluence of stories here — plus an ad. Read it all together and think about how strange all of this ALL is.

Recently there was a Money Mart at this downtown location. But it looks like that business is gone now.

![This is the first and only mention of “CEDiscs” found in the archives and also nothing is found about this format with a Google search. Possibly laserdiscs?
edit: Aha! Found it finally: It is the “Capacitance Electronic Disc”. Link.
“RCA began videodisc research in 1964, in an attempt to produce a phonograph-like method of reproducing video. Research and development was slow in the early years, as the development team originally comprised only four men,[7] but by 1972, the CED team at RCA had produced a disc capable of holding ten minutes of color video (a portion of the Get Smart episode entitled “Lum Fong”).[8]
The first CED prototype discs were multi-layered, implementing a nickel substrate within the platter. However, premature failure of the multilayer discs, usually from separation of the layers and resulting in damage to the player if a disc in such condition was played, forced RCA to search for solutions to the problem or alternative materials for constructing the disc.[9] The final disc would be crafted using PVC blended with carbon to allow the disc to be conductive. To preserve stylus and groove life, a thin layer of silicone was applied to the disc as a lubricant.[10]”
