CED VideoDisc and Player Discussion

Apologies to everyone, but for a variety of reasons, I have decided not to continue making these belts. I have posted information on the Facebook group that explains the process I used, at least at a ...

Hi - it's Kevin here. I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with the belts. Drop me a note, cedbelts2@mredison.com, so I can send you new ones. I've heard of them stretching out or breaking over ...

In case you're not aware, I supply the small servo belt for the SFT/SGT players and their clones. I only charge $6 for two belts. If you're interested, just drop me a note at cedbelts1@mredison.com. ...

An "f/g" player is shorthand for an RCA SFT/SGT player or their clones like the Zenith.

As you noted, your Sears player is a Hitachi clone, and its electronics are completely different th ...

One of the more obscure ones for sure. Looks to be a Hitachi clone.

If this is happening at the start of the disc, i.e., you play a minute or so and then it "freezes", or if you fast forward and then it freezes again, the servo belt in your machine is loose ...

There is much more discussion on the Facebook forum, which is public and can be read without joining or logging into Facebook. I created a bogus Facebook account so I could participate.

Open it up and check the belt, which is almost certainly bad based on your description. It could also be slipping. I had to make a spacer between the belt and the back wall to get my SGT075 to work ...

Yes, towards the end RCA became less picky about packaging and just used whatever they had. It's not at all unusual to find a blue cover with a white tray. Some late stereo titles were issued with b ...

The CEDmagic page for the Zenith VP2000 says it's essentially the same as the RCA SFT100, so a 149000 mono stylus would be appropriate.

I do wish the seller had shown all sides of the cart so I cou ...

Quite possibly belts. I let it run for most of an hour and things improved noticeably. Also switched my TV to 4:3 instead of "auto zoom" and that made it much more watchable. Some colors ...

In my case, I think was an incentive due to an inactive account. I don't know of anyone else who got that promo.

I got a nice deal on Craigslist today. About 70 disks and an SGT075 for $60. The ...

I got kind of lucky on ebay a week or so ago. They sent me a coupon for $15 off a $30 purchase. I found a CED seller who had some good titles, $3 each, free shipping when you buy 10 or more. That m ...

The CED group on Facebook is petty active. You'll find lots of traffic there.

This forum is largely inactive, sadly.

Here are my current "orphans":

Ben Hur 2
Close Encounters 1
Ghandi 1
Superman 2
For Your Eyes Only 1
Superman II 2
Mary Poppins 2
Scarface 1
The Rose 1
Bird Man of Alcatraz (CBS) ...

OK, never mind. Even if it's not in the db, it has been mentioned here. See this post:

I just bought a collection of CED movies. Clearly the person had favorites as there were multiple versions of several movies, like both the mono and stereo Black Stallion, RCA/CBS versions of various ...
