There is an interesting story behind that DiscoVision player and the disc, they were used by GMH as promotional material from 1979 in the dealerships.
Mine comes from Lockhart Holden.
I also have the dealership computer that dates from the same era.

A marvellous thing called a "Dyatron"
It was made by Data General, and looks like this

Beautiful.
I NEARLY scored the old ICL mainframe from a certain Council many years ago, they were going to PAY ME to take it away.
But then I was reminded that it was HUGE and where was I going to house it?
Damn, it had several large tape drives like those in many old sci fi movies...
