Laserdisc 'Dead Side' from Technidisc

This is the beginning of an unused side of a laserdisc manufactured by Technidisc. The more familiar "dead sides" are the ones with the upside-down turtle on Pioneer discs, but other manufacturers used different messages.
This is just 15 seconds, but the entire side runs 25 minutes (in CAV with analog sound only), with the message cutting to black at 24 minutes. Technidisc was regarded as the absolute worst laserdisc manufacturer and often called names like Technideath or Technicrap; many of their discs have an unacceptable amount of video noise. This particular one is remarkably good, especially considering the standards for the dead sides were never as high as the sides with actual material on them. Technidisc made audio CDs too which experts say were just as bad but most CD players had good enough error correction so the average person wouldn't notice. The company went out of business around 1996 (the oldest laserdisc I've seen from them is dated 1983), and nobody was sad about it. One thing I liked about their discs though was that they often had the exact date they were mastered stamped on them.
