I got this player with the latest grab, it says its an SGT-200 W but have you ever seen one with a black almost transparent top and what looks like a wifi cord (I know its not) and some or serial port on side?

I forgot to take a pic of side port but u can kinda see it in the fourth picture!
It was disassembled when I got it and it is alot like an sft-100 so I was able to put it all back together and have it work! I tried both styli in it the RCA 154100 and the RCA 149000, both worked fine but one would should I use? Possibly the 154100 Cause it has stereo outputs? But it has to be an early model sgt-200 which used the 149000?

The 14900 stylus will work, but on stereo discs there will be a bit of noise- a slight hissing during high-frequency sound in the left channel. The only physical difference is a piece of rubber on the 154100 stylus, which can be added to the older one.

I have an SFT-100 which was hand-upgraded to stereo, unfortunately the mechanism is completely shot and I don't know where it came from. It looks like a regular player of that model except the AV jacks in the back were added and there's an indicator light on the front for stereo.

When my Dad was at RCA during the CED production, and I was asking him about it, he mentioned that certain test models would have a lead out for connection to a diagnostic and testing device. I don't know if this was one of those, but I recall seeing some of those test models and all had see-through cabinets for visual observation. A lot of them went home with engineers rather than getting trashed, I guess. If he were still alive, he'd probably know for sure.

Whatever it is Ryan, I have a feeling you have your hands on something that is worth a great deal.
