Yep :)

Well, I seek _all_ Ariston discs!  :)
So I'd like to get a list of your discs.

Old discs are to be found, but its always very sad if they get broken
by using them, so we mostly play reproduced discs.  There are about 3
addresses here in Europe to get such discs, but all of them are very
unhappy to do so, for their interests lie in others (e.g., reproducing
Ariston-Organs) and it's not very worthwhile to do so, too.  Or do you
like to buy one disc for about 100 Dollars?!?

Those three addresses I talked about are:

 - Mr. Alois Blueml, Achentalstr. 11, D-83224 Grassau/Obb.
 - Heinz und Rene Spinnler, Teichweg 58, CH-4450 Sissach
 - and me,  of course  :-)

I'm sure there are others, too, but I don't know them (especially if
there are people in the USA who reproduce these discs).
