What about a 10" 78 record (there are also a few 33.3 10" LPs out there too) covered with mylar?

Why not cut down a laser disc to the size you want?
A Dremel tool might take some time to do the job but can do it without shattering the disc

Why not just go to a plastics shop and have them cut you a 10" disk with a porportional hole in the center out of plexy and spray it any color you want??
Good luck and let us know how you solve your puzzle. -=tabman

The size of the CD was determined by how long a long piece of classical music is, so these symphonies would fit. (about 75 minutes)
I vote to cut down, the laser disk, take it to a machine shop It will appear much the same as a CD

There are router like attachments for dremel tools that allow for a perfectly smooth and perfect edge. The advantage of a dremel tool in many applications is that it rotates at such a high speed, that it doesn't require much torque... often allowing you do drill or cut in things that might otherwise shatter or crack .

You could go to a sheet metal shop and they could cut you a disc on a ring and circle shear and then put mylar film on it. Or take a piece of pressboard and make it and cover it with mylar.

If you have a bandsaw, make a circle cutting jig. You don't even need a good one. Just attach a spindle to the proper location on the bandsaw table.
