Saturday is one of my days off from my job, so I spent yesterday watching these CED juke box videos. They were a lot of fun to watch, so thank you for sharing them. It was probably a good idea to po ...

The fifth symbol is the letter "E" on every title, which I can't find any difference or variation on, so I can't tell what it represents, and I can't think of any word pertaining to CED that ...

Not long ago, I learned some little-known fun facts about RCA's "Selectavision" name that CED collectors may find interesting.

Besides CED, VHS VCRs, and video cameras, RCA also used ...
