A friend sent me a link to this site, so, naturally, I had to look for CED ads.
This link will take you to the 1982 catalog. The CED ad is on page 2.

Enjoy! |

Nice site!
The 1984-1987 catalogs were required reading when I was a kid. I was amazed though not surprised to find that as I flipped through each virtual page I knew what was coming next.
Here's hoping that Rat Shack understands the value of this site and doesn't force him to tear it down - or, even better, gives him access to missing catalogs, pays him for his work, and incorporates it into their site. |

oh my god. on page 5 the stereo speakers on the right hand side bottom of the page. I just sold a pair of those. I got 200 for them. I had to replace the woofer surrounds. when I bought them I thought it was 1 woofer and a passive reflector., but it really had dual woofers per speaker. boy do they sound great. but I needed some of my room back.
they sell them for 259.95 each speaker on page 24. gee |

I swore by my Realistic Nova 7 speakers for the longest time. Unfortunately I stored them in a barn and the foam went kerplooey - I think my father kept them, he had a pair too, though I'm not sure about that.
They weren't "audiophile", but they had a nice chunky sound that suited me just fine. |

Were many stereo adapters ever made for that player? I've never seen any in person, twice I've seen them on Ebay but they were sold as part of a large package which I couldn't afford at the time. Toshiba players have a jack for a stereo adapter too but I've never seen one for them. _________________ Videodisc and stereo sound- there's no better value around! |

I have a Hitachi stereo adapter that works on the Radio Shack and the Sears player. I also have two Toshiba stereo adapters that also work on the Wards and Elmo players. The Hitachi adapter draws its power from the player where as the Toshiba has a 110 plug. The Hitachi has a noise reduction switch thats labeled main, stereo, sub while the Toshiba has three switches labeled stereo, CH A and CH B. |
