CED VideoDisc and Player Discussion

I guess people do that for all the idiots who think they're looking at a DVD or BluRay, or perhaps a lserdisc. It's hard to mistaken a black disc for one of those. But I don't know if it's really all ...

I guess we all have our different reasons. As for me, this is the format I grew up with. As a kid, I didn't even know about VCRs or laserdiscs. All I knew was, we had a videodisc player, our grandpare ...

Thanks - I hope all the CED community had a great Christmas.

Thank you, Tom. Your gifts are always very much appreciated, and very nice!

That's really cool. I would have never imagined seeing a CED caddy on a Blu-Ray package. Now you just have to get them to pay you royalties for using your photos. Smile

As the old topic stated, I agree that it sounds like a problem in the arm assembly. My current player was doing that and a replacement arm fixed it. However, I've also seen players do that if the serv ...

Very cool. I remember when I first found this site and was amazed by all the CED stuff that I didn't know about. CED disappeared in my area fast, and I thought only RCA made the players, and that the ...

I've had that problem with other models using the same type assembly (Sears, RCA SFT-100). Seems like one of the former RCA technicians once posted that if the magnetic ring on the bottom of the turnt ...

Those of you who know me probably know I collect laserdiscs as well as CED (and have one of the earliest produced PR-7820 DiscoVision players) - I will say that overall, I agree that CED seems to last ...

Thank you, Tom, and season's greetings to you too. Smile

I haven't been on this forum in a while, but I'm still here. Hope all CED collectors are doing well.

Cool - I might need his services in the future.....but it may be a while before I get something going. At this point, the only manufacturing I'm doing is small circuit boards at my house, and at the ...

Yeah, I'm sure that even if CED hadn't have died in the mid 80's, it would be dead by now. But I think if at least one company had supported it, like how Pioneer supported the laserdisc format (when ...

I'll make a list of what you got and keep an eye out. Some local stores around here get CEDs from time to time, and I do occasionally see movies with a missing disc. Hopefully I can see a disc that ...

Cool. I think I'll send them my stylus when a convenient time comes; it may still be okay, but I trust that they'll check it out & do anything necessary to it.

Hey, Beetlescott.

Well, here's the deal: I'm not sure if you're aware of this (maybe you are, but I know a LOT of people who aren't), but record players are still in production - in fact, there are ...

Cool, and I just happened to see a CED player board laying in the corner of my room with a CPU - just what I was looking for. Please keep in mind, though, I will need to desolder the CPU from the boar ...

Could have been crazy bidders...I can remember trying to get an item for less than all of the BuyItNow prices, so I found one for auction, and some guy outbid me, so out of curiosity, I started bumpin ...

Oh...it even displays 00 in the load position...and none of the buttons work. I'm almost positive that you have a bad CPU. If you know enough about electronics and are good enough at soldering to re ...

I think I'm the only one (or one of few) CED collectors who prefers the F/G models and has enough patience to deal with them. For starters, if you haven't done so yet, I may suggest replacing the tur ...

Interesting...funny how using the wrong materials can do stuff like that. Kind of reminds me of the Super Nintendos - if you see them now, a lot of them will have a yellowed top and/or bottom, or othe ...

That just about sums it up. What I usually see on my "laser rotted" discs is the grainy picture - I've never had a more serious problem than that, but still, it's annoying when you flip to ...

I would suggest trying the rapid access fast-forward to see if it does anything. Being that you get a 00, you obviously have a working stylus & good circuitry. Every couple of years, my player w ...

Okay, I think I found the facility on the Google satellite view now; it's quite a huge building, if I'm looking at the correct one. I was confused, because apparently the official address is no longer ...

I watched part of the Memories disc last night, mainly the tour of the factories. I still find that video clip just as interesting every time I watch it.

Funny, I just found that video by accident on YouTube not too long ago, and I was also surprised to see some of the titles that were supposedly produced in stereo. I could be wrong, but I would not b ...

Here's one thing I could never figure out. Maybe it's just me and my discs, but it seems like any scenes in a movie with music playing, loud sound effects, etc., usually play alright, but it's pretty ...

Interesting...I've never seen the Let It Be video, but I do have the Compleat Beatles on CED. That was the most expensive CED I ever bought - I was kind of mad - it was at a store with no price on it ...

You might be addicted to CEDs if you lose all of your players and your entire collection to, say, a flood, and instead of restarting with something more modern, like DVDs, you go right back to collect ...

You might be addicted to CED players if you're majoring in manufacturing in college, hoping you can use what you learn to start manufacturing replacement styli & other CED parts to keep your playe ...

Quite true. That's probably why they never came out with "record burners" or "LP-R", although I've heard of people on the streets in the old days who would let you record a 45 on ...
