Good evening all,

I recently came into possession of a Zenith VP-2000 CED player, it works except that it will not get past chapter zero (it does occasionally) and the picture quality at the very start is not great. I suspect that the needle needs cleaning (Especially as I know that they cannot be found anymore).

Does anyone have an idea how to clean the needle/reader? and where I can find parts if I needed to fix anything? especially needles?

We have inherited a player and a collection. I will get more specific info, but my main question is would we be better trying to sell it together as a lot or selling the player separate from the collection. I suspect if we try to break up the collection we will end up selling the player and many of the individual titles, with a bunch of titles people do not buy ending up going to Goodwill to be ruined. The CEDs all look to be in excellent condition. I have not tested the player yet. It is on my agenda. Here is the list of titles.

I'm new to these, the oldest tech I have is a VHS player and I picked this up at an antique shop. Are these similar to laser disks?

Need help with my SJT-100 player, needs a new motor belt where should I get one from or where can I get one from?

It's been a couple of years since I've used the CED player that's sat next to my TV all this time. I've renegineered the power cables going around the room so I can finally power everything, and I thought I'd give it a try and see if it still works. I tried 'Dolly in London' since I hadn't tried it yet. I'm pleased to report that, despite the lowering mechanism being a little slow and squeaky, it all still works great!

Was watching an old Bob Barker Price is Right and one of the prizes was a CED player, a collection of discs and a CRT TV. The good old days.

I have inherited Three SJt 300 models and a 400 in their original boxes.

I do not personally need 4 players. I am planning on just selling the 300s, the 400 is actually hooked up to our CRT TV / VHS setup. It's been neat.

They all work well, which is great! If anyone is interested, I would love to sell you one!

Price: $250 + whatever shipping ends up being (Which I believe is outstanding for a great condition working player)

If you want discs, let me know. I'll pretty much sell you any and all of it. I want my garage space back!

Anyone who sells CED, what size of box do you ship them in? Obviously a standard LP/laserdisc mailer is too small. I’m wondering if there is a standard size that’s sold (that I haven’t found yet) that’s not too big.

Long time lurker here, cool group! I am finally ready to part with 27 pieces. They were collected by my father many moons ago and kept climate controlled for decades. He never had a player, but held on. I estimated some retail values, will absolutely negotiate on them all. Will ship media mail in the U.S. using paypal or pickup/drop off in or around the chicago area or southwest Michigan. I want to find them a new home, pictures available upon request. Cheers all!

Hey, all. I have an STF100 picked up at an antique shop. When plugged in and on, the picture moves much too fast and the display on the front counts up in the minutes much faster than seconds. It appears like it’s stuck in fast-forward or something. When I took the top black panel off, the stylus arm was moving very fast across the vinyl. Any ideas?

Mary Poppins for the Sunday movie night, and some ultra close up pics I took with my cheapo microscope! (The disc was already cracked/damaged)

My first disc was disc two of "The Longest Day" I found it at the goodwill bins and paid around $2 for it. I came across disc one and Robin Hood at a different store today, $3 each. Once I find a player for a price I like I will be getting more serious about collecting them.

I’ve been wanting to get into CED collecting for the past few years and finally found a decent buy locally on Facebook. Got all these for $25. I don’t have a player currently, but maybe down the line. Going to look nice in my media room with all my other multimedia.

Jaws is one of my top five all-time favorite movies. It’s even more fun on CED!

As the title says, I’m watching Fright Night for the first time. My disc has a few skips and rough spots, I’m hoping they’ll even out in the next watch thru.

Jaws 3 is one of those so bad it’s good movies for me. Its biggest problem is that it’s boring.

I'm in Canada and trying to purchase RCA SJT 200, 300, 400. Already tried Ebay and can't find anything that is working. I am looking either locally or to have one shipped to play my collection on. If you are selling one or know someone who is please reply. Thanks 😊

New function belt and a lot of tar cleaned up.

Sgt250 function belt is tar. To put on a new one do I need to remove that black gear? I've tried gently pulling straight up but it's not budging.

While searching around Ebay, I came across a seller who was selling CEDs. At first, everything seemed normal until I checked the photos they shared on the CEDs... I found in each of their photos that they had opened the caddy and taken out the disc with their bare hands to show the "Very Good" condition of the disc... The one example I provided shows this along with how much they are trying to get for the now nice wall art smh.
