krbsforty, do you know what the difference is between the green logo and the red/orange one?

There are currently a pair of SKT 090's on eBay listed in the last day or so, each states to have an issue and are sold as is.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-RCA-SelectaVision-Video-Disc-Player-skt-090-with-5-discs-/190843484250?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item2c6f28785a

The above player is listed as powering up but the door won't open on the unit to accept discs.

And this player is listed as powering up but when a disc was inserted it wouldn't accept the disc and just hummed.

I currently have a 100w and a 075 (graciously provided by Rixrex) on the way. I am interested in getting player of the models I don't already have, I would be happy to buy either one it's the idea of the repair issues that scares me. Any suggestions or is it just a crap shoot with my money?

Thanks
Harry

Thanks, I got the payment and will be shipping the SGT 075 out tomorrow. It's going to be Fedex.

In regards to the SJT 090s, it is a crapshoot oftentimes with these players stated as non-working. But I know exactly what to ask the sellers to get to the issue, and will do so for you and send you an email about what I find out, okay?

Ty much I hope I can repay the kindness someday, I was a comic book collector for 30 years and can tell you about everything comic book. I have discovered the CED and am now lost, I am ridiculously hooked, and learning new things daily. Ty for the assistance there really are some nice people here.

Was this player recently posted here in a new member's question?

It's a Montgomery Wards and if you look it could be the same one-seller is in Indiana.

PS The first disc in that pile is STAR WARS.

Plus look at how the CEDs are stacked. Seller is totally not with it.

It's a pretty big issue with the drive belt since they no longer can be found, and they were unique. You really have to go with the replacement pulley and round belt adaptation to get these players up to snuff, as seen here:

http://www.cedmagic.com/tech-info/toshiba-pulley/toshiba-pulley.html

I've done this to a few players already. It's not a minor job for anybody not adept at small electronics work.

The stylus is no issue really as it's the same as RCA stylus used in SFT100 and SGT075 and 100 players, and relatively common or rebuildable.

Ty for the great feedback, I've dropped the player and found a nice zenith version of the 100 with discs for a $1 and another sft100 real low. Just going to wait and pounce.

Do any of us know this seller?

They have 500 discs and a stereo model (400?) with the big RCA remote and it looks like an open stylus box!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=121116474233#ht_10095wt_1400

It's all waiting in Saugus, Mass with a $250 start and $500 BIN.

That is a 400 series player. I would say the $250 is wirth it if indeed that player is as they say it is. Some of those discs are uncommon and rare as well.

If you want the top-line player and you are lacking many of those discs, I'd say pick it up. Even though improperly stacked for the photo, they are said to have been stored correctly. If puit that way just for the photo, then that's not really a problem.

Once you get a 400 series player that works like new, you will be ecstatic at the playback. Plus the manual and remote! And a considerate seller willing to travel. Couldn't ask for more if you live within 1,000 miles of the place.

If I lived there, I would be considering it for certain discs like Alone in the Dark, etc, and sell off the rest and the player since I have a 400 already.

Or keep this 400 and sell the other if this one is better.

I don't profess to even have that much dough left but I knew you might like to hear about it.

If you had that much cash on hand and you lived nearby, it is a good deal to bid on.
