I am a big fan of the CED franchise, I bought my first player back in 1982. I have 8 different players, my first one was an SGT250, the first stereo player. When I first got back into the format, I bought the same player. There are better players, with more bells & whistles, but the SGT250 will always be my favorite. I like the sleek design, the slanted front, everthing about it. The SJT400 is what I use daily, but the SGT250 will always have a special place in my heart:) What about you? Do you have a favorite model?

I'd say for playing discs, the SKT 400 I recently aquired.

Most sentimental is the SGT 200, 1st player I ever got.

The one I have used the most in the past is the SJT 200.

And lastly, the one that I like for appearance is the Wards GEN 10301, plus it was a ground up restoration job.

I started with an RCA SGT200, and then added a Hitachi VIP201P. Later I bought an RCA SJT400. Believe it or not, I prefered the Hitachi over the SJT400. I just got back into the format, so I don't have any players yet. I will probably have my first VHD player before I buy another CED player.

STAY AWESOME!

Just bought my first CED player. An SKT400.

That's the best of all. Comparable to an Elite in the LD world.

If that player is in top shape, your CEDS will look grand on it. I hope it is!

I watched ebay for quite a few months, then I saw a newly listed one late one night, he had the model number mixed up as "stk400" I verified the model # and bought it for $105 shipped. Just got lucky I guess.

That was good luck. You saved about $50 or more from what they usually go for at auction.

I also sometimes look for PALYER instead of PLAYER, it's a common mistake as well.

I like the Sears 934.547080150 player I have only because I bought it new in 1983 (you know, your first player). I just recently replaced 2 of the the belts in it and with its nearly new stylus, it plays like new. i have not used it as my main player because of the difficulty of getting a new stylus (this was before I found out about CEDatum).

My workhorse player is an RCA SJT-200 that I got about 20 years ago. I like it because of its stereo sound output and the stylus's were easier to find then. I purchased 7 of them for safe keeping.
