Subject: Re: CED Digest Vol. 2 No. 51
We'll If I recall correctly, The Digest intent and purpose statement
header in the Digest format states that the Digest is for the use of
CED'ers to Buy, Sell, Trade, and get Technical and Repair advice.
Just because the Digest will not contain everything I would
personally would like to see "Discussed" or talked about, I myself will
not give Ultimatums, or Threats like some people on this page say, for
instance and I quote, "If I read one more posting asking for "MIB" on
C.E.D. I'll quit subscribing to the C.E.D. Digest". Ofcourse, If some
party's feel it causes them such "Anxiety" maybe they shouldn't subscribe.
I do wonder this however? "Where are all the people at right now who
got all this started at??? I only see other persons who did not get the
issue or subject started raking it throught the Coals. It seems the
persons who got this started are no where to be found at the moment??
Some also point out other tastes and Preferences of what they
consider something worth bringing back, for example, "I would Like to
start the committe to bring back the Ford Edsel".
As for the Ford Edsel, It falls victum to the same difficulties as the
C.E.D. format and that is, "How do you get something repaired with it,
when it breaks down?". Which brings me to my posting for this Digest::
So, lets start out with one of the things that Tom intended the Page
to be used for: Repair and Technical advice;
-Question No.#1
Tom, when a J-series player has a picture that shakes Horizonatlly
(picture jitter) is it realated to the motor under the plater?? another
words is that problem solved by replacing the coil assembly under the base
underneath??? is this achieved by replacing that assembly, or is there an
electronic adjustment on the Mother Board??
Technical Question No.#2 Tom, what causes a picture on a J-series Model
to fold near the top of the picture? where it gets kinda white tinted in
the picture and the picture twists and distrots?? and inaddition to that
the Stepper motor which advances the Play Arm alternates between trying to
run forward and reverse back unable to make up its mind as to which
direction to advance the Player Arm???
I figured that these questions fall within the scope of the intent of
the Digest.
See guys, this is something that is important to know for your "DEAD
COLLECTIONS as you guys put it so well in your e-mails. The only point
your over looking is that if your machines Die then Your collection will
REALLY BE DEAD THEN! as you put it so well.
So, using this as a "Start Back in the Right Direction" as you guys put
it, We can get some tech Advice.
Thanx
Mark.......

Subject: Lubricant

I was curious what David Potochick was referring to when he said he
was testing his Benji CED to see how long it would play without lubricant.
What lubricant is he talking about? Am I supposed to be using lubricant on
my CED's? I'd appreciate more information on the lubricant and what purpose
it's supposed to serve. Thanks, George

Subject: Re: CED Digest Vol. 2 No. 51
I just gotta say to the guy testing the "Benji" disc- I don't think I
could stand watching it that many times!! The one time I watched mine it
was fun to look at the 70's stuff, and the bad pan-and-scan job from the
1.85 frame, and the smearing. I could watch it one more time soon, but
not much more unless someone gives me a list of mistakes or inside jokes
in the film or stuff like that.
BTW have you ever seen the original transfer of "Network"? I have it on
both VHS and CED and it's got "SMEAR" written all over it!! So much it's
hard to watch the movie! It runs a few minutes over 2 hours, and the
currently available laserdisc is on 2 discs (Thanks MGM for having mercy
on fans of this movie and re-doing the transfer!) The CED however is a
single disc and is time-compressed (master run at slightly faster speed)
not only to fit on one disc, but also to make room for 3 "previews" at
the end- the only time I've seen previews on a CED movie! For those
curious, it has this cheesy music with the words "Also available from
MGM/CBS Video" and has what looks like a trailer for a "Wizard of Oz"
reissue, and very short spots for "2001" and "Fame", I'm certain "Fame"
is a TV commercial but not sure about 2001, it's only about 15 seconds.

If you have had the RCA VideoDisc Classifieds bookmarked, the old URL now takes
you to a generic page instead of the specific VideoDisc classified page. The
EPage Classified Service had a disk crash, and required the affected categories

Hello all,
First off - Hapy Holidays.
Second - I have been getting a large number of requests for "Dot and the
Kangaroo" by people who have no idea what CEDs are and I am curious as to
why.
Any one have any answers? Also, if I made VHS copies of these for these
people what holy legal hell would I be getting myself into?
Thanks
