CED VideoDisc and Player Discussion

[Beetlescott]

I have only been back in this hobby for less than a month, and I already have 5 different players! Many of yu have been into them for years. How many players do you have? Are you selling them, or keeping them for parts or?????? I plan to fix 3 of my 5 up and sell them. I'm not wanting to make a bunch of money on them, more people getting into them would be more people coming in here talking ab out them:). Anyway, how many players do you have??

There isn't any difference between the two types as far as function goes. The SKT model is the newer of the two. The difference is that some of the electronic components are either different or may have been removed to simplify the player. Less components that can fail maybe.

Do they both use the same remote?

I have had 23 players since 2000. I have repaired and sold all but six and will probablly sell off all but two. I'll keep my SJT-400 and Hitachi made Sears player. My first player was a Sears player that I bought in 1982. During those CED years from 1982 until 1984 I bought over two hundred movies. When RCA made the anouncement they were halting production on players I sold everything to a friend of mine at a substantial loss. I then immediatly bought a laser disc player and supported that format until 1998. I mainly use my CED player to watch the old black and white classics.

Hey, everyone - it's been a while.....I'm down to one player now, but I've owned a total of 7 in my lifetime. Growing up, we had an SFT-100 in the house, which my parents eventually let me have. Then my grandfather gave me his SFT-100 and all of his videodiscs (a HUGE collection, but mostly movies that I wasn't interested in). After both players kicked the bucket, I purchased an SGT-200 at a garage sale, but shortly after, our neighborhood was badly flooded, ruining all of the CEDs and the player (I attempted to salvage some of the discs, but the mud just would not come out of the grooves). Losing my entire collection (which ended up being burned at a temporary dump for flood debris), I switched to laserdisc, but eventually started collecting CEDs again. I got a Montgomery Ward (Toshiba) player from a thrift store, but it had severe problems, so I went again to the thrift stores and found a Zenith VP-2000, which worked for years. Later, I bought a Sears (RCA) player on eBay, but it had problems, and the Zenith started giving me problems. So I finally bought a junk SGT-250, rebuilt it, using parts from the Sears & Zenith players, and that's the player that I currently use for watching CEDs.
