That's a great idea. For an exhibition you could loop the recordings
and let people go from station to station...

Good plan. You'll want to build a custom windscreen system.

I've had good and bad luck with buying MDs on eBay. One was great.
One was DOA and the seller took it back. One failed a week later and
became a playback-only machine.
