Had the format for a short time, got a new-in-box Toshiba VP550 player for something like $45 the summer of 1985 and several flicks to go with it one of which was Streets Of Fire. Stereo sound was great but our family already had a large library of LD's the Toshiba got traded off a short time later when I "inhereted" the VP1000... that was replaced with a tray loader LD-700. The VP-1000 survives and I still use it to play the stubborn discs.

I also had a Pioneer VP-1000 Laser Disc player in the early 1980s, replaced by an LD-700. I had already sold the VP-1000 by the time I realized how poor the LD-700 was with tracking less-than-ideal discs.

That is very cool that your VP-1000 is still working after forty years!
