Here's an auction that is currently at ~$2.  Great seller.  I've dealt with them for over 10 years.

Time to move on.  Bye Amiga.org.  :(

Hi Big-Iron:

I don't know how anyone else does it but I have had great success using Oxi-Clean in warm water and a Q-tip.  If u look at the disk with a mag. glass u can see the problem.  wash with Oxi-clean and rinse.....  Let dry. Has worked every time for me.

As you own the disk there should in theory be no legal problem for you to download the disks as ADF of the net and use these.
