CED VideoDisc and Player Discussion

I just got a player from a fellow collector here on the forum, that was packed perfectly. It was an SJT model, and the turntable was packed with those baloon-type plastic packing bags to keep it from slipping up and down. A great idea! Of course, he also had the tabs to keep the stylus arm in place as well.

I thought the idea of the bags was great because this turntable slipping always is a problem in shipping. At the least, it causes the turntable stem to slide out of position and the washer often drops out of the stem hole. At worst, I once got a player with the turntable completely broken out of position and it's edge had severed the motor coil windings, ruining the player.

I plan to always use this method from npw on when shipping SJT/SKT models.

im very relieved to hear that everything turned out okay, the bubbles seemed to fit in there very snugly and honestly didnt take into consideration actually how helpful they might be. i thought it might have been over kill, but honestly when it comes to shipping vintage electronics i guess you can really never be too careful in packing them... let me know how it plays whenever you get it hooked up, i hope you will be pleased with it...

Thanks. The player works so well that it helped me to track down a problem in my TV set.
