Go to the CEDmagic.com website and look at the CED museum. It would be tedious; but, you could go through the descriptions of each player and find out the ones that are mono.

| I've alwyas thought the 75's,90's,100's and 101's were mono and all the 200's on up were stereo?? I've never actually studied it in depth. I know I'm not interested in mono players. |

Sounds good for the RCA players. Does not sound good for the non-RCA players (i.e. Hitachi, Realistic, Sears, etc.)

Do all of the monos have the same hookup to the TV? Mine has only a coaxial port. No RCAs.
I'd like to get a stereo with a remote but someone offered me a very nice mono Zenith and I'm leaning toward picking it up because you don't see them too often. |

All the players (that I know of) have RF jacks which also includes the players with RCA jacks. Of the 396 disks I have, 104 are stereo (about 25%). A stereo player is nice; but, not necessary to enjoy CED's. You may get a better sound and picture using the RCA jacks. I haven't used the RF on a player in maybe 20 years so my memory is thin.
The only problem with a Zenith player is the stylus. I am not sure about their availability. The best alternative to the Zenith is an RCA player as parts are more readily found. CEDmagic.com stocks RCA belts for free with a limit of 4 belts per year. Ceddatum,com stocks many spare parts (i.e. belts, IC's) and rebuilds/cleans styluses (the only place that does in the world). At this writing, there is an SJT-300 for sale on e-bay that needs work. If you are a DIY'er, it maybe up your alley. The most problem encountered with the RCA SJT and SFT players is the "gooey belt syndrome". The one drive belt inside the player turns to sticky mush from age. Replacing the belt it is not difficult. However, cleaning up the goo is another matter.
The final decision is yours. I would select an RCA SJT-300 or SJT-400 as both used a remote control. Don't worry about a remote as they are available. Should you need one, post your request on this forum and I am sure someone will help you out. (I personally have 2 remotes for the SJT-400 and 1 remote for the SJT-300 should you really need one).
If you are offered the Zenith player at a reasonable price, go ahead and get it. There is no harm in having more that one CED player as it can't hurt to have a spare one.

Zenith players use the same large stylus cartridges as the F and G RCA players.
Toshiba and Hitachi mono players all had a jack for a stereo adaptor, which is rather hard to find. I'd like to get one just for the novelty- RCA's attitude was that people wouldn't mind buying a new player in a year or so to get stereo, now 35 years later we still have people who don't know what proper sound is supposed to be
