Good to know!

For reference, it's a Philips VP415/05, like this:
http://chrisacorns.computinghistory.org.uk/Computers/Domesday.html

http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/43817/Philips%20VP415/05%20LV-ROM%20Laserdisc%20Player/

It would have been connected by 50-pin SCSI and genlocked video to a
BBC Master Turbo, with a video filing system ROM.

It's still here, stored on the west side of the clubroom. (opposite
the door)
