JPY 85,000 for a junk/tray does not open and no disc coming along...

I think the previous one sold for a few JPY 1,000's but if you don't have the discs, it's a very expensive brick!

Sony HDL-2000

Julien

The disc in the unit is labeled: Sony HDVS HDP-2347 [NOT FOR SALE]
MIDLAND PRODUCTIONS SEAWORLD OF FLORIDA "WILD ARTIC", Made in Japan. Disc has alot of scratches
on it, which for the most part appear to have been caused by some dust/debris that was caught on
the felt pads of the tray.

but I do have the details of what the disc was thanks to my meticulous attention to providing detailed item descriptions.

Some great pics on this YAJ item (including a HDVS LD Coral Story [00QW-9009])

yeah that's beautiful, even on my laptop screen. I truly believe humanity and human friendly technology peaked in Japan circa 1990.

I think the previous one sold for a few JPY 1,000's but if you don't have the discs, it's a very expensive brick! Julien I own two & posted the video above. It's easy to fix the tray issue; the loading belt on these units are all stretched out and it may have aged lubricant. Re-lube the tray and pop on a new belt and you're good to go. Also, unlike what the seller seems to imply, these are not backwards compatible with standard LDs. Compatible HDVS discs are hard enough to get, but the real problem, like all Sony LaserDisc equipment, is reliability. Many of these have many, many hours from being run in continuous loops for shows, presentations, and R&D. Both of mine had problems. One has a burnt out laser and the other has a bad board. Service manuals are discontinued/unavailable from Sony. I was able to get one of mine working by mixing & matching parts. HDVS is an investment. admin wrote: Added here for the specs (and pics to follow) Sony HDL-2000 Julien I added additional information. Let me know if there is anything else you could use.

Briefly owned, and flipped on Ebay, one of these players, with a disc in in back in August of 2005. Have e-mailed the pictures from my archive to Julien, sadly I didn't take pictures of the disc, but I do have the details of what the disc was thanks to my meticulous attention to providing detailed item descriptions. Relevant excerpt from my circa August 2005 Ebay listing description.: Quote: The disc in the unit is labeled: Sony HDVS HDP-2347 [NOT FOR SALE] MIDLAND PRODUCTIONS SEAWORLD OF FLORIDA "WILD ARTIC", Made in Japan. Disc has alot of scratches on it, which for the most part appear to have been caused by some dust/debris that was caught on the felt pads of the tray.

Sony's official November 1988 HDVS product catalog includes the HDL-2000. HDL-5800 was present at the exhibition organized by Sony at the beginning of 1990 (I do not remember the document stating that it was released in 1989, but it was): Catalog: https://archive.org/details/sony-hdvs-catalog-november-1988-preliminary HDL-5800 in video (4:19): Extra info: In this video, HDV-10, HDM-2830, HDC-500 prototype etc. it seems
