CED VideoDisc and Player Discussion

Update:

This SJT-400 is one sick puppy. I sprayed some contact cleaner on the two switches at the rear left cornet. After the cleaner had dried, I turned the player on and inserted a caddy with a ...

I would like to have it, provided that it's within driving distance.

Check to see if there is an idler drive belt on the underside of the chassis.

If there is one, chances are it's bad, considering the age. ...

I've seen it. I was very surprised at the existence of such a machine, a Toshiba built model from Zenith.

The only Zenith I had come across was the VP-2000.

So, according to your information, my SKT-400 was made on production line 1 on April 10, 1984. (15th week of 1984 on a Tuesday)

I wonder when the last SJT-400 was made.

Indeed, I wo ...

What is the model number?

were you able to get the remote specific to the k400, or is it the universal command remote?

It's the one specific to the 400; The SelectaVision Random Access Control Center.

However, it may be ...

Nice find on the skt-400! Also that vp4000 video is mine! The player is essentially a vp550 (toshiba) clone!

Thank you, though I'd say that your stereo Zenith is an even more impressive find, espec ...

It's been a while since I've posted here.

First, I had acquired an SKT-400. Got it up and running after just some minor work. It will need some parts, however, but I've sent an e-mail to CEDAtum. ...

Thanks for all the feedback on the tote bag. It's good to hear that some of the originals are still out there. I got mine in an eBay auction about 10 years ago. The bag was somewhat dirty, prompting ...

Funny how the broadcast/commercial market is - you can still buy Beta VCRs and even Beta camcorders, but you could probably buy 2 or 3 new cars for the same price.

I think you mean Betacam. Althoug ...

Here is a demo of the first consumer LaserDisc player.

Yeah, this isn't CED, but I figure that it may be of interest to everyone here.

Enjoy.

Where is the player located?

As for what it could be doing, it may require repair to the laser power supply, namely replacement of dried electrolytic capacitors.

The player is almost 30 years ol ...

Thats correct ! But they lost zillions of $ on this System. If they hadnt postponed it again and again. If they had released it in the early 70s.....

I agree, S-VHS and even VHS-SP are both better than Beta 2, the Beta mode for pre-recorded tapes, in my view. But Beta 1 is definitely superior to VHS-SP, which was pretty much the standard for the ge ...
