In a message dated 97-04-13 05:53:19 EDT, you write:

<< He also has quite a few model SJT-90 players. They are a very basic
 RCA model player with the tan tops and square faces and minimal
 features.  If anyone is interested in a spare player (or two) let me
 know. I'd like to sell them 1 for $10, or 2 for $16 each
 plus shipping.
 
 Here is a question for the list.  I'm also picking up some spare
 parts. They are in the RCA boxes, so they have part numbers on them.
 Does anyone know if these are just for the 90 series players, or if
 they will replace parts on other models as well?
 
 Here are some of the parts he has.
 
 154216 - Stylus
 157928 - Circuit
 157862 - Cover
 157563 - Gear
 157550 - Bracket
 155884 - Integrated Circuit
 154243 - Motor
 830022 - REsistors
 157538 - Actuator
 
 If anyone is interested in those parts, I'll be selling those also.
 He had quite a few styluses/needles! I hope they are compatible with
 other model machines.
  >>
I would be interested in 2  and 1 extra stylus for them. I am asuming they
are in working order. Please Let me know what my total would be with
shipping. I am not interested in getting them fast just ship as inexpensively
as possible.

Thanks 
Larry

Subject: Hitachi remote control

    I actually found a Hitachi CED player at the flea market sunday that
WORKS!  Better yet! It's stereo.  WhooHoo.
    But, the remote control is missing.  Does anybody happen to have an
extra one lying around they want to get rid of?

Subject:  DVD - Not so great

I recently sampled DVD at a local Best Buy... Talk about pixelated..... This
thing is more pixelated than DSS on a clear day..... I was not impressed...
Actually I think they should rerelease the CED in competition with the
DVD..... They would actually have something to compare it to...... 

When watching a DVD, watch the grey or black in the background of the
picture and you'll see the pixels changing.... This probably looks really
nice on a big screen TV..... 

The New Demo disk for the CED could go something like..... "You've seen
the pixelated pictures of DVD movies.... But now.... Look at the crisp
clear picture of the RCA CED player......" and so on..... My Laserdisc
player far surpasses the DVD..... I'll wait until I see DVD players at flea
markets before I pay $600 for one...... 

Later,

Dave.

Subject: RCA VideoDisc on ABC News Nightline

The April 21st Nightline was about the impending implementation of digital
television. During the intro they were doing a history of TV and showed a guy
holding up one of the early non-caddy-housed discs while commenting on RCA's
half-billion dollar loss on the technology. This could have been the first
mention of CED on national TV since 1986.
