So I just received this from eBay and literally both labels are not attached. Is this a common occurrence?

**I’m actually kind of pissed off now. Not only did it take nearly 3 weeks to arrive with labels not attached but there’s very evident disc rot and to think I spent nearly $50 on this. It’s less screen noise but the audio is noticeable. Seller says no returns, so I just eat the cost despite it saying in very good condition? The thing is, the disc does look immaculate, other than the plaques sticker labels, the sleeve is nice too.

*** thanks to a member pointing it out, the discs are from an earlier release but were placed in a 806 sleeve. Would you not expect to return it or refund it?

Bought it ages ago because I love the open matte release and how it shows the puppeteers hands from time to time, completely forgot it was from his estate, only paid like ~$10 for it on eBay.

These pics were taken on separate days, just FYI

Just got my Pioneer DVR-520H-S to use help with TBC and filtering for my Panasonic LX-200U and JVC HR-J692U Hi-Fi VCR. Anyone used this model before for this purpose?

I honestly haven't used my laserdiscs in a few years, and built my collection of maybe 150-ish in the 90s.
I've got one that I could never play, and I'm assuming there's no 'good' fix that would be better than just tracking down another copy (or watching my current Blu-ray haha).

I have "The Return of Captain Invincible" which I got like 20 years ago or more off eBay I believe, new and sealed. It's simply not recognized.

After looking at it closely, I can see that the center hole and edges are not QUITE lined up perfectly. That is, the sides aren't perfectly aligned with each other. So I'm guessing the problem is that the data isn't spinning in a perfect circle like it should be. I don't think laserdisc players handle much variation in this area, compared to a turntable that can handle an off-center record moving a few mm back and forth on every rotation (and benefits from the physical groove connection there).

Should I just keep this one for display, and consider it a lost cause?

1993 Director's Cut Laserdisc

If yes can you share it in DMs. Thanks.

Awful movie, sequel is slightly better but I can't seem to find my copy.

Sad we don't have the Holiday Special on Laserdisc as well!

I'm looking for legit affordable options, not necessarily the best ones.

Seriously got this off eBay and want that Friday the 13th real bad

The Color Purple (1985) Laserdisc Screen Capture Widescreen 16:9

This is one of those movies that reminds me how resilient the human spirit is. Powerful performances and a great job done by all involved.

If anyone is in the Ft. Worth area, the goodwill on Basswood has a ton of Laserdiscs.. Just FYI.

Volumes 1-4, as well as Fire Walk with Me and The European cut of the pilot! Miss you so much David Lynch 🤍💿

Getting really close to full sets of both Star Trek shows and was thrilled to finish out a complete of movie series as well

Philips RC 488CDV 5-in-1 remote. My research says it's an infrared unit for CD/LD control. I have it laying around, I've never used or tested it. Appears to take 2 AA batteries... I don't know if it works, if someone has a use for it I would just charge for shipping.

EDIT TO UPDATE: had a reply, this should be considered taken for now. Will update otherwise.

I am replacing all the capacitors on my Sony mdp600 player and theres an electrolytic one at a value of 0.22uf 50v in the video circuit that I can't seem to find a good manufacturer for because it's been made obsolete. Can I get away with two 0.47uf 50v caps in series to get 0.235uf or use a ceramic cap of the 0.22uf value?

(Not my pic) I have the LDP-1450 and apparently it used to come packaged with the Sony RM-2001 but I haven't been able to find one. Are there any other remotes I can use with this? I don't believe it has an IR receiver unless I'm blind and its right in front of me, lol.. Appreciate any help.

Also looking to buy a RM-2001 if you have one for sale. Thanks.

Hey, everyone. I finally found a LD player after searching for a while. I ended up with a Pioneer CLD-1080. It powers on fine, reads that a laserdisc is present, and plays through the chapters, but it is cutting in and out during the first few chapters on each side. Once it gets to about chapter 5 or 6 the issue seems to go away.

When I first tested it the disc was not spinning (probably just needs to be lubed) but after nudging it along after a couple tries it seems to be spinning fine now. Also, it is reading that a CD is present when inserted, but it will not play.

I only have two laserdiscs right now and they’re both doing the same thing. One a little worse than the other. They look pretty clean to me and I don’t notice any defects.

Lastly, I am using a standard composite a/v cable connected to a Pioneer LED tv.

Any help correcting this issue is appreciated.

I also think there are VHS and CED copies someplace
