CED VideoDisc and Player Discussion

[Raintree]

Dad was able to get the Sanyo VDR-3000 he'd been looking for but needs to find parts for repair, and maybe a shop manual. For those not familiar, this model is the only one Sanyo actually made themselves and is quite unique and different from any other brand. And pretty rare apparently.

So what he's looking at is to replace the loading motor that lifts the internal caddy tray for loading and unloading the disc. The motor seems to have lost most of its spunk and just moves about 1/4 inch upon power on and then stops. We can get it to move a bit each time we power on, but even taking the belt off to reduce load doesn't make a difference.

I know it's a long shot, but maybe someone happens to have a parts player out there, or some Sanyo parts or the manual? If not, then maybe someone would like to collect it just for it's rareness and not care that it isn't working? Dad only wanted it if he could get it to work properly.

It's too bad because it is in really nice shape otherwise.

i also was hoping in the future i would come across one of these players, i know dean has one i think... anywho, i almost never pass up something that would be an accessory to what i want, in case i get what i want i have the peripherals... so one day i came across these! had to buy them, now they sit with my zenith and rca service manuals, ready to help out whenever the situation arises! whatever i can do for the old man just let me know!

I have a boxed sanyo. I also have two to three extra players (They all work, one of them just not great). I have all 2 service manuals and the schematics for it, including the owners manual. I also have the rare "sears" remote for it. Rix said he once saw the "sears" branded sanyo player too! He said it was at your grandpa's shop and the only one he had ever seen. I remember I asked you about this in another thread but there was no response, I thought your dad was talking about the "sears" branded sanyo!

Thanks guys, Dad says. He did say that there was a very unique Sears player in the shop long ago, but it was a customers and went out after being repaired.

Anyway, he wonders if any of you can look in the manuals and see if there's a part number and/or specifications on the little motor with pulley that operates the lift and lowering of the tray system?

Also he's wondering if there are any reference specs about the signal that is put out of the adapter RCA plug that was for a later stereo add-on.

does any of this help?
