CED VideoDisc and Player Discussion

Nice presentation Josh. You have a great collection. You were the first person I met 5 years ago when I started collecting. Thank you for helping keep our hobby running!

Good idea Josh.

It depends on if the Hitachi model is a later model or an earlier one. The belt size on the older models each take a different size. The later models take 2 belts that are the same size. Later mode ...

I would also agree that the Sears players are my favorite. The 250 series with the woodgrain and green counter is soooooo smooth and quiet. I have a SJT 400 and it plays well but there is something ...

I would really like to have a video jukebox disc. Since nobody had cable at that time, videos were on broadcast TV everywhere. I think NBC had Friday Night Videos if I remember correctly. We enjoye ...

Could I be the Chris you were thinking about? I sent you a response about downsizing your disc hoard last week. In the words of Yoda, "There is anotherrrrrrrrrr............"

Josh, I feel your pain. I think a lot of it has to do with the hunt part. Since you have them all, there is no challenge anymore. Can't keep replacing so, so discs with better ones forever because ...

The orange belt is very seldom the problem from what I have found in tearing Sears players apart. I would try replacing the other to belts since they are more than likely stretched out. Do you have ...

Does anyone have a Toshiba or Wards player laying around in their stashes they would like to be rid of? I have one in stages of repair and need a parts player to pick from. Already done the pulley c ...

I have several of the Sears players and have had the same problem. The issue is with a small sensor that is on the top of the stylus are near the back of the right hand corner. There is a small L br ...

They are in the database. They are all listed under F. All of the movies are listed as FTT etc. With the exception of Pinocchio (very hard to find) most are readily available. The other Jack in the ...

I have had similar issues with two of my Sears players. The stylus arm is
moving to the disc is controlled by a adjustment bar on the top of the arm to the rear. The ones I have a dark grey color. ...

You have a couple movies I am interested in purchasing if you would consider selling:

Playboy Video Magazine, Vol. 5* Sealed
Playboy Video, Vol. 2* Sealed

Does anyone have a front panel for an RCA SJT 200? My machine works perfectly other that the controls on front. An SJT 300 front panel works, but I would like to keep it original.

I would like to get one when you are ready to move them.

Is there a way to track down where the solder is bad? I can fix the easy stuff buy when it comes to troubleshooting circuit boards I have no clue.

I am working on a Toshiba VP100 and am having a problem. The player loads correctly and starts properly. It runs smoothly, is very quiet and in great condition so I don't want to give up yet. The se ...

I would love to have one of these players as I collect them as a hobby. Could you let me know if you are interested in selling one of these? I would appreciate it Would also be interested in some m ...

What kind of prices were you looking for on your discs? I cam send you a list and we can go from there. just need to know where to send it to.

Tried to get the player without the discs a couple weeks back. Seller would not send anything single only the whole works and only for pick up. Offered him nearly just as much for the player as he w ...

Picked up a shrink wrapped copy of "A Night with Lou Reed" which is in perfect condition and very hard to find.

Does anyone have a Sears/Hitachi player for parts? I have a couple of parts I need to repair one of my machines. There are 2 styles of machines that look the same, but there is an early version and ...

I have the Super Fights of the 70's but only one copy. Sorry I can't help with that one. Let me check my duplicates and see if I have anything you need.

The stylus arm in one of my players is having problems advancing to play the disc. When you start the disc it advances to the beginning of the disc and the counter will start at zero, but will not ad ...

I know this is a very long shot, but does anyone have a Sanyo parts player around in their stashes? Looking for a couple of pieces that need to be replaced. Any service info on one of these they cou ...

I was wondering if you had sent out the stylus we had discussed a couple of weeks back. Haven't seen it yet; felt I better check. Thanks again!

Yes, that is correct. If you were standing in front of the player it would be to the left. Thank you for taking the time to do this. It is a really neat player and I would hate to fry something ove ...

Could you take a picture of the left side of the top motherboard? I was looking to see what sequence the wires are in. I believe it is yellow/brown first, red second and the blue one third. The oth ...

I had the exact same issue with a Sears branded player earlier this year. Good stylus, new belts, cleaned you name it. Check you connections on the mother board and see if they are all connected tigh ...
