About 25 years ago I stumbled on one of the very early, huge and *heavy* laserdisc players in a junk shop where the giant lid opened up on top and it came with some discs. Like one of the very first players made I think, and it worked. I've restored a few 50s and 60s b&w and color TVs (with the round pic tubes) so it was fun to goof around with the whole setup it but the player finally gave out. Bought one slightly newer that works (still very old and huge and top-lidded) and another bigger stack of discs, maybe I'll drag it out again soon or later and mess around with it. I have a 300-lb acoustic Victrola and a ton of 78s too, I just dig old technology. Hell my main TV is still my 'old' circa 2000 Hitachi HD projection set. It refuses to conk out. I'm incurable. Found a pic of my first one, a Pioneer.

Oh my, I can fix old tube TVs and a cap or transistor or chip in my old radios or my pinballs here and there but whew, I wouldn't even have dared to try tackling why mine went belly up! I would have broken a dozen more things in the process.
