CED VideoDisc and Player Discussion

[ubben52]

I was wondering if somebody could give me some insight into some stuff I just acquired. I'm probably going to be posting some of this stuff on ebay in the next week or two.

I just bought a collection of about 430 videodiscs from an ex-RCA
employee. A lot of the disc are new and still in shrink wrap, the
ones that aren't still wrapped, lots of them are stamped "RCA
PORPERTY, NOT TO BE SOLD, RENTED, OR COPiED, FOR EMPLOYEE HOME USE ONLY" and some are stamped "NON-RELEASED TITLE"

A Couple of the discs have sticker on them that read

"TECHNICAL LIAISON EVALUTION DISC"

"Do not use for any purpose before contacting either: H.N.CROOKS
3164 C. BOLTZ 3313".

or

"NOTE: THIS DISC MAY NOT BE REPRESESTATIVE OF CONSUMER QAULITY."

or

"non released title"

I also got a Metal plate the reads "Rockville road 15 million
videodisc 1985" and it's got a picture on in the middle of "Gone with
the Wind".

I also gave me six 7 x 9 photos of machinery from what looks like
the Rockville plant.

I also got a brand new "Thanks for the Memories" still in shrink-wrapped.

I also got a VHS tape titled "compounding tape tour 6/18/83" I watched it and it's about the compound that makes up the dics.

I also have a few other odds and ends.

Let me know what I should do with this stuff or what I should be looking for. Please email if you have an insight.

Thanks,

Jeremiah:

You may want to take offers via email on your items for a period of time and then accept the highest offers. You do have some items like "Memories of VideoDisc" that will be of interest to collectors.

It would be nice to get the VHS Compounding Tour tape to someone who can digitize it and post it to You Tube. That way the information will be available to all and preserved for posterity. That compounding facility was considered the most sophisticated in the world in 1983 and was even featured in RCA's corporate annual report.
