man... that is a good deal. you wouldn't want to sell the stereo service disc would you? i collect service literature and tools and stuff, and this is one of the things i don't have yet...

here is some of the stuff i have managed to find so far, i wish i could find stuff at a thrift store!

Well my collection is kinda small because I haven't been collecting very long. I have a Zenith VP2000 and RCA SJT 100 that I got from Goodwill and a RCA SJT300 that I got from Rixrex and 20 or so movies. That's about it Very Happy

We had a Sears model player when I was growing up in the early 80's and my favorite disc was a Disney cartoon classics. A couple of years ago I found the same disc at a thrift store and just had to have it. Of course I needed a player so I looked around online and came across CEDMagic and found Rixrex. Bought the SJT300 and the rest is history Smile The Zenith I have came with 40 or so movies from Goodwill. I plugged it in and hooked up to one of their tv's and it worked like a champ and couldn't pass it up. Looked new still and had the instruction manual. Rixrex is a great person to know. He has helped me several times with small issues with my players.

that would be funny if the 300 you got from him was the one i traded to him! i have a sears player ( it was my first ) and i love it! its my fave of all the ones i have because it doesnt have the digital display, but its stereo, stealth!
i have i think like 98% of the released cartoons in my collection (:

It isn't. I sold that 300 to Texas well before I got the one from you. It was the last 300 I had at the time, and I later decided I should have kept it. I got two from ebay that were no good, so I put the post up about looking for one and trading rare discs for it. Then I got the one from you which I still have. I usually don't make a deal on the forum just for purposes of reselling, but if it ever happens. it's just because I got short on cash and needed some money.

Yea you were born during the end days of Selectavision but luckily there are a lot of players and disks out there so you can make your own memories Very Happy There is something awesome about this technology and the fact that it was made in the U.S.A. makes it even better. I myself also like old tube radios and old Kirby vacuum cleaners but that's another story Smile

Thank you Dude for the kind words! Smile

yes, that is one of my favorite things, it was the last home entertainment platform developed in america, and it was made when stuff was still made good in america in my opinion Wink
