Subject: Useful Information
I have 5 RCA players. One of virtually every model. None of them work.
The problems are the following:
1- Bad Needle.
2- Automatic transport doesn't work.
3- Player works intermittently. One some disks it will start and on
others it won't.
It seems to me that all of these problems except needle replacemant can
be fixed with standard parts. The problem is that I don't have a
service manual of the know-how to repair the machine.
One use of this newsletter would be to encourage the writing of a
manual, the establishment of a network of service centers, a voluntary
hotline, the warehousing of parts that are available and the creation of
contacts at RCA or Thomson.
It seems to me that except for the manufacture of parts that are not
standard items in other machines there is no point in talking about
buying the old manufacturing dies.
This really needs to be approached in a rational manner.
The point here is for us to be able to play what we bought and to use
the machines.
Let's rally around those issues and stop talking about manufacturing new
disks and manufacturing new machines.
I'd love to start a dialogue along those lines.

Subject: Fix for J series players?
I have a couple of J series players that have both recently come down with the
same symptom. When a disc is loaded there is a greater than normal delay
before starting and then the disc begins play anywhere from 10 to 30 seconds
into the side. Doing a reverse scan will only reluctantly bring the disc back
beginning often taking several on and off applications of the search control.
Once you have "loosened" it up the player seems to partially recover but
usually exhibits the same problem the next time it is turned on. Does anyone
have any idea of what is causing the problem or better yet what the solution
might be? Is it a failure of the stepper motor or is some lubrication needed?
Hoping someone can help

Subject: VideoDisc Chat Room
Fellow CED'ers:
As you may have gathered from the prior message, I added a chat room to
www.cedmagic.com this past week. The link is near the top of the main page,
emphasized with a "new" icon. Since CED Magic only gets about 15
non-consecutive hits per day, it's unlikely you'll be able to drop into
this room at random and find anyone else there. So the intent is to set up
specific times to hold chat room sessions as Dan did in the prior message.
Dan, I noticed you didn't specify a time zone for your start time of 5:30
PM, but assume it's Eastern Standard Time, as you reside in New York. For
everyone reading this, assume it's 5:30 PM EST unless you get a followup
message stating otherwise prior to the start of the chat session.
