We had the same problem with several discs on PeCe. 
Sometimes it was possible to shift the date of the final dead of the disc
by about 1-2 years by ajusting the little spring in the mid of the wheel.
There is also a small piece of coal, which can be "refreshed" by using
sand paper. But be very, very carefull.

I would recommend to do this "improvements" as late as possible (will
mean: when the disc stopped working), because you can repeat the procedure
only limited times.
