CED VideoDisc and Player Discussion

That's very true. We are already seeing that with Stylus. Not more than 3 or 4 years ago John used to rebuild them, you could get one for $30 to $40. But now they can't be rebuilt and all that exists ...

I would message the seller. I purchased one and they emailed me afterwords saying they had many in stock if I wished to place a bulk order. I'd be very surprised if they are sold out.

I would assume that it's the Video Demodulator. You can order a new one here, but I have not tested it yet.

If you purchase this and try it, please let me k ...

Not sure if anyone saw but another sealed copy of this just sold for $316 on eBay. I would have to say, of all the rare discs, for some reason this one seems to be the most common. Which is odd to me ...

I didn't realize this was a new stylus, it could just be the tension on your stylus is to too light and the needle is jumping around. From what John Greves has said you can adjust the tension by press ...

Thanks for the upload Jesse. So I saw at about the 3:40 mark on the first video it showed Newark on the wall next to the stage. So I Googled Avon Newark and apparently they had a large office/distribu ...

I got your email, thanks. So both of those titles are interactive titles. Meaning they are banded for use on a J/K 400 CED player. They would play a short video clip and then display options (bands yo ...

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that Facebook has blocked my account for some reason. No reason was given and no time frame provided so not sure how long it will last. So I am unable to respon ...

The site is coming along. Orders have been coming in and going out and I have updated the site quite a bit. Check it out when you have time.

I think by the time Goonies came out most people had dumped the CED format in favor of VHS so RCA probably pressed less copies. That and the fact it was a very popular film people probably watched it ...

Hotel California by The Eagles is playing on 94.1 KXLP right now.

Lynx, May I ask your first name so I can be a little more formal with you. My name is Josh Gibson, I run the CEDatum website now. I'm also in the CED Magic Facebook group. It's good to meet someone wh ...

The CEDatum website is back up and running and we are hoping to have parts and services available as soon as possible. Please check us out at cedatum.com and let me know what you think. Thanks all!

Well it's up and running. Feel free to check out the new cedatum.com website and let me know what you think. What should I add/what am I missing. I also created a Facebook business page for it, simply ...

Regarding the topic of, not all 100 titles available at every dealer, I just stumbled upon this on Tom's timeline.

Yes, we were able to get the domain transferred to me and I set up a hosting site. I am still working on building the actual site so it just has some temporary splash screen thing up right now. Stay t ...

Ok that makes a lot more sense now after reading that last one. So RCA and Columbia Pictures struck a deal to release movies, then June 28, 1982 Coke bought Columbia Pictures but continued to honor th ...

Wow this is a crazy story that I never knew. So apparently David Oreck was born near Duluth, MN (Only like 3 hours from me). He joined the military in WWII and flew B-29's over Japan. After he got out ...

Wow Lynx, that's a lot to unpack. But here we go.

Thanks for finding title 001 for me. I do not own French Connection. I don't know if you have noticed on those early release discs the caddy has a ...

Hold up a sec, I just noticed Planet of the Apes is CM11EE-V105002.

It has 2 E's in section four. I'm curious why now.

I also just remembered that John had given me some decoding information fo ...

Ok lynx, I checked your information and you appear to be pretty spot on. First let me mention this information about decoding the serial number on the players. This information was provided by John St ...

Thanks for the link but that wasn't the one I was thinking of, although it might have been the same system now that I think about it. But it was being shown on some kind of talk show or something. I n ...

I just wanted to note that when it comes to the player models I was told the J/K and F/G did not represent a year but a model line. So for example the SJT400 and SKT400 are identical but they upgraded ...

So I am trying to find a video I watched a while back where someone is on a news broadcast or maybe a morning show or something. He has a Computer with a CED player hooked up and is demonstrating how ...

Hey Lynx, that's my video.

So I'm sure lots of people have seen some sticker on a disc with a big long number on it. Well that's the Press Run # and it typically looks like 2363512653. That number is scratched onto every disc. ...

So I was under the impression that RCA owned Columbia Pictures, or did Columbia Pictures own RCA, where the two not related at all? I just found a website that said,

"On June 22, 1982, Columb ...

I'd prefer to sell this here instead of eBay.

1981 "Bring the magic home." Demo Disc

I would be interested. I was in talks with someone else to purchase a sealed one for $20 but th ...

So I have some dealer information and they used to order the discs by program number. So for RCA that would be the 2nd half of the UPC, the UPC was broken up into two parts the first half indicated th ...
