Re cleaning the lens - see the warnings about this in Simon's calibration guide, since it's really easy to scratch it. It shouldn't be necessary if the player's reasonably clean inside.

PAL calibration discs are very hard to find - the ld-decode project has found one copy in several years of searching, so if you do find one we'd be interested in imaging it! The NTSC calibration disc GGV-1069 was still available new from Donberg last year, though. At a pinch you can use a different CAV disc for most of the adjustments - side 4 of the EE Jason and the Argonauts box set is CAV and has a useful collection of PAL test signals.
