Subject: CED's

I have CED movies that are defective in some ways.  There will be scratches,
chipped cases or the wrong disc in a case.  I will sell these at the rate of
100 for $35.00.   At this rate I will not be able to ship any and they must
be picked up at my house.  

I also have a collection of machines and CED's for sale but also I would
prefer  not to ship these.

Subject: Cartridge question
Date: Wed, 20 Nov 1996 01:13:25 GMT

Are the cartridges used in CED players damaging to the CED discs if
the needle is excessively worn or otherwised damaged?  In other words,
if the condition of the needle is unknown, can I potentially ruin a
disc?  (Think of vinyl LPs for an analogy.)

Subject: WTB: Stereo CED player (SGT250)
Date: Wed, 20 Nov 1996 01:13:27 GMT

Looking for a well-maintained CED player with direct stereo out jacks.
I believe the SGT250 is a basic model that would be adequate.

BTW, do the stereo models, or any models, also offer direct video out?

Subject: Tech: Getting my SGT100 running
Date: Wed, 20 Nov 1996 01:13:28 GMT

I recently bought an SGT100 and separately, two discs in a thrift
store.  Neither disc plays, with each showing similar symptoms, so I
think the problem lies with the player.

So, some questions.

(1)  Along the left rail of the player, as I go to insert a disc,

     right after the leading edge of the caddy hits the lever that  
     lowers the center spindle, it hits the end of a black piece
     which rests on top of a leaf spring and which is 'attached' to
     a mechanism leading back to the stylus cleaner.  Because the 
     caddy hits this black piece, it cannot be inserted any further.
     The black piece has a part number 2871018-2-7 and also makes
     contact with a micro switch that pulls down the relay inside the
     cartridge holder.

     If I remove this black piece (as I have done), the discs can be
     inserted just fine.  I can see no difference in playback when I
     press the microswitch versus when it is not pressed.

     (A)  What is the purpose of this black piece, and hence, the
          microswitch?

     (B)  How is this black piece supposed to be installed in relation

          to the leaf spring, switch, and stylus cleaning mechanism, 
          and is it possible that the one I have is broken?

(2)  For the two discs I have, at least, playback is not correct.  The
     picture I get can best be described as scrambled, like the early

     '80's pay-TV stations used to appear.  It's black and white, the 
     vertical blanking interval is in the middle of the screen, the
     the picture is wavy, constantly moving around, and the sound is
     nearly nonexistant (TV at full volume to barely hear it).

     My first thought was improper speed.  Just checked it with the
     strobe on Tom Howe's web page, and it's rock steady.  Connections
     with my TV were correct, as far as I know.  There do not appear
     to have been any modifications made to the machine's circuitry.

     (A)  Could a bad cartridge/stylus cause this behavior?

     (B)  If not, what could be wrong?

Thanks for any and all assistance with this.  It's become my project
du jour!
