Oddity Archive: Episode 121.5 - Ben’s Junk: RCA Selectavision CED Player (SGT 250)

I was downright embarrassed by my old CED Player (see the CED episode). Obviously, an upgrade was in order.

    I looked up the address of the old store on Google streets, ironically it's a goodwill of all things now :D

    I found one of these at Goodwill today for $5, trying to find out more about it and whether it works or not.

    Since the old one had no rewind, someone is going to make a CED rewinder. It will be the most useless thing since the DVD rewinder.

    Every time I watch one of these I think about my quest to procure a Laserdisc player. It's on the list of things to do simply because I love the format's quirkiness.

    I’ve got one with all the features. The buttons are all below the feed tray. Got audio R and L, visual search both rewind and forward, hi speed scan, pause,/play, and reject. And a remote with more. Select a vision remote. Or, Random Access Control Center. Haha. Still works. The discs, however... I’ve got 6 or 7. Yellow beard is my fav but a bit warped. As it gets on it’s fine! Got Bobby Joe and the Outlaw. Linda Carter’s teats all free and... succulent.

    Congrats on the stereo upgrade. I'm still rocking a SGT-100, only because it is the only one I own that works. I have a Zenith mono unit that does not play, also a SJT-200 that looks beautiful, but there is a function motor issue and it needs a stylus. If I could get anything upgraded it would be the SJT. But for now the SGT will work. I have a library of about 149 unique titles at this point. Most of which I do not have on any other format.

    This was clearly a more top of the line version of the first generation model, whereas your other one was a bottom-of-the-line version of the second generation model. We had one of each, I may have noted in the comments of the CED episode, and yes it says L for both on ours as well, but it also had a lever to load and unload the disc, hence when I mentioned the fact that when you unload, it just comes up and grinds the disc to a halt, and I once completely ruined a disc as a kid by moving the load/unload lever up slowly and heard the rhythmic grind of the disc spinning against it. When I later found out that that's what that was, I felt regret and remorse over doing it for sure.

    I had the same model i picked up at a grudge sale in the early 90s for $20Canadian and carried the heavy bastard home. Then it was a few years later at the stitsville flea market that i found some disks for it. I ended up selling it in the late 90s on a usenet for well over $100 American so i made some money off it.

    What’s interesting to me on this unit is the CSA label and French language on the back of the player, which to me says this one was probably meant for the Canadian market but was diverted to the retailer in Florida. Just an observation I made.

    Congrats on the upgrade! I have this same model and I must say this machine is built like a tank. Good analog stereo sound and I agree that the controls are such a nice step up from the original design. I was lucky enough to find mine with the original controller which works perfectly. The picture quality looks very nice on the clips at the end were you using any type of signal enhancement? Enjoyed this video and your other videos as well!

    ^This I'm also curious about whether or not the new unit plays better than the old one, especially when it comes to that sacrificial Three Stooges CED.
