CED VideoDisc and Player Discussion

Hey guys, I scored a few more rare gems. I just sold off my old copy of
RCA Selectavision Videodisc - Stereo/Mono Service Alignment Disc - Blue Caddy

Because I scored a major upgraded copy! A pri ...

The same seller, recently sold what he claims to be his last prototype (but he told me he sold me the last ones he had back along too haha). So anyway, he recently listed and sold another copy of Nort ...

Wow, that's awesome! Well that answers that, I sure don't have all prototype titles. I never saw that link before. RCA made a bunch of them. They came from the same area. I think all originating from ...

i have one or 2 white mono ones and one or 2 stereo blue ones and the jane fonda workout disc. John Stephens had told me he used the blue stereo disc and the jane fonda disc to work on players. Now al ...

Here's a couple interesting ones I picked up a bit ago. White caddy versions of Stereo/Mono Service Alignment Discs, but apparently, rather than the alignment discs still being inside, someone (RCA?) ...

Hey guys, I would go on to purchase more prototypes by the same seller. One of them has the name Bob Moore on it, so I did a search and found out he was an RCA engineer.
I now have 6 1977 prototypes ...

Cool! I just learned the forum was back up. The link here should probably be fixed:

I would have found the new link sooner. Very Happy

I scored my final box set.
The Royal Opera Covent Garden - La Boheme

Another sealed one, like my copy of Swan Lake.

On page 26, notice the player was said to be released in '77 with a price of $500 and $10 per movie.

Let's put that into perspective for today and even for it's time.

So using an inflation calculato ...

I took photos and scans, but hang on. I gotta ...

I saw these listings, I didn't bid on either one because I figured they would go for crazy money. I did contact the seller though to try to find out more information about how he obtained them and if ...

I have something coming that should be here tomorrow. I've looked around the site and I don't see any related info on it mentioned by Tom.

It's about these Prototypes. I think it's pretty cool. It's ...

i missed the 49.95 shipping fee. Seems like for 5000 he'd ship it for free!

hahaha yeah, I jokingly said the same thing to him, in a PM on ebay. :D

You wouldn't be interested in selling your caddy ...

OK. Let's talk about the elephant in the room hahaha. I'm sure we've all seen this copy listed on ebay by now, right?

If not, well there ya go. Man, I wish I ...

Here she is guys. Like I say, nothing super rare, at least not as is. However, like so many of these lesser common ones, it's been very hard.....scratch that, impossible to find one with a near mint l ...

Would you be willing to pay $60 for a blue ray or 4kUHD movie? Today, I was looking around Amazon and a lot of new movie tiles for modern HD and 4k discs were around $15 - $20 Sure, some were higher t ...

I missed a couple honorable mentions.

How often does anyone find a sealed copy of Rocky 1 uh? (even in this very, very common RCA label) I spent forever looking for a mint copy, I never found one un ...

Here's a pretty rare box set guys. This ones another Opera boxed set. Not exactly anything I'm into personally, but I still think it makes a super cool CED collectable (being a boxed set w/ pamphlet). ...

Oh you know, this is still a fairly recent pickup and it's a very honorable mention too. This one doesn't come up too often and I've waited years for a clean copy. I never found one........until a sea ...

Oh yeah, I picked up this rare one. It's a fairly rare title in itself but to top it off, it's what I believe to be a factory seal too.

Gotta update a couple rare ones added over the months.

I had a feeling there had to be a few of these out there. I've been ...

Hey collectors. Whenever I score something cool, something rare, or different, I like to create a new thread to share it.

This time it's the ever illusive Box Set - The Championship Collection - Ro ...

I voted Newly printed discs. My reasoning is; I've been there, got the t-shirt.
This system was magical back in the day (I loves Toms title to this forum, cus it fits so well.) but it was a poor syste ...

Wow! Those discs are really neat! I've never seen any discs like them before, and I'm glad they went to a good owner like you. They are historic treasures in the history of CED, so cherish them! T ...

The discs are translucent. If you hold them up to the light, you can see through them.

You guys might have seen these recently auctioned off down by the bay.
I was the winner of both auctions and they have been added to my collection.

Whenever I score something cool, rare and or unique ...

Not sure if anyone saw but another sealed copy of this just sold for $316 on eBay. I would have to say, of all the rare discs, for some reason this one seems to be the most common. Which is odd to me ...
