An interesting video (obviously) on the manufacture of Laserdiscs & players back in the early 1980's - from the Google Video user:

This is a 23-minute tour of RCA's SelectaVision CED VideoDisc manufacturing facility on Rockvillie Road in Indianapolis, Indiana, as well as a tour of the CED player manufacturing plant in Bloomington, Indiana. The movie dates to 1983, a time when the J line CED players like the SJT200 were the current production units.

Those things were as big as freekin' bathroom mirrors, the 8-track of viddy! -skeet-shooted a stack a ten yars ago!!

wow. How unbelievably inefficient that whole thing was!! Each and every step of the construction was absurdly slow and required SEVERAL human operators to complete. I doubt most modern bits of electronics ever even see a human at all until the packaging!

I recognize two movies. Annie and Star Trek!
