The Jeff Gold CED Collection 2024 CED Workshop

These are the discs that I obtained as part of the Jeff Gold Collection. Jeff Gold worked for RCA on the CED Videodisc program in the Engineering Department. He was part of the team assisting Gunter John in the development of the Electron Beam Recorder and Optical Mastering as well as the development of the EM Cutter Head used to record the copper substrates.

Hello sir Josh. I am looking at a player but have not bought it because I am not sure if I run into an issue that would render the player a boat anchor. Besides a busted needle or a bad platter should I take a chance in getting this player? I owned one years ago and sold it with 70 movies. I kick myself every time I think about it. Anyway comment at your earliest convenience. Thank you.

Lots of factors at play here, I guess it depends on what the model is, how much they want for it, who you are getting it from, is shipping involved, has it been tested, and most important of all...how badly do you want it?

​@ketonicdude item is not tested. Just says it works. No disk. No shipping just a 20 min drive for $80 bucks. SFT 100 is the model. Kind of want it but don't need a boat anchor either. Thanks for your help.

@@millertube40 I would be curious to know how they can say it works without a disc to test it with. I presume when they say it works they mean it powers on and had a load indicator. This does not mean that the player works. Most likely it will need a new servo motor belt, and possibly a new stylus. There's no way to know unless you have a disc to test it with. I try not to spend more than $20 on a common (SFT100) untested player just in case it does need a new stylus ($100). But again, it all depends on how badly you want it. I do have servo belts and styli in stock for this model so if you need any just email me, [e-mail]. Otherwise check my other videos on how to change the servo belt and service a F/G model player. Thanks.

@ketonicdude I asked the same question. They said it was part of the family. I dont think it works because why would you sell all the disk if it worked? I think my gut was right, and I let it pass l. Thank for you help.
