On a side note, the SVDP, I usually haunt has some CED's, Sound of Music, etc. One of the other regulars, who knows that I'm into vintage electronics asked me about them. I replied that was one of RCA's real losers. They're not Laser-read, but uses a stylus, like an LP record. If there was a machine there, I probably would have bought it and the discs. :sigh:
BTW, what speed did they run on. :scratch2:

I believe it was 30 or 60 RPS. The vertical syncs can be seen on the disc as two bars pointing opposite directions from the spindle...Like some LDs.

If you had told me you wanted a player before the last ETF I'd have sold you one cheap.

Which movie?

Dude111 09-03-2016 02:24 AM

Well there are a couple I would LOVE

ET - 1982 (Was this ever released on VD?? -- It must have been (The earliest VHS I can find of this is 1988 and that one was DIGITALLY RECORDED (There must be an earlier MCA VIDEOCASSETTE release (I havent found it though))))
The Goonies - 1985
The Terminator - 1984 (If its the right NTSC speed (The first VHS release is PAL (Even the NTSC one -- They messed up)))

Those are about the only ones I could possibly want from when VD was made :)


Thank you pac for seeing if ya have any of these :)

pac.attack76 09-03-2016 10:49 AM

I don't have any of those. Definitely want the terminator. I'll see what I can find.
