Hiiiii guys, I've been looking at some laserdisc players on a website here in Brazil and I came across an ad that left me in doubt. I don't know very well about how the technical part of the players works, all their mechanics, they are very complex, that's why I'm here! ^^

the ad is a Laserdisc Pioneer Cld-a100 Laseractive, for no more than R$3.650,00 (737.51 dollars). the most curious thing besides the price (which is absurd in Brazil) is that it doesn't work, because, according to the seller, he spent a few years without using it and that's why he only turns on the lights. Is it possible for a player to be spoiled at this level without using it for a very few years?

I also saw a man who repairs lserdisc and he said that this kind of guy can be more than half the price of this ad on top...

Well, this one I thank anyone who can answer and I apologize if my question was silly... A hug to all! <3 <3

This player is very expensive for the video game aspect.

All capacitors need replacing.
This is a known issue with the 100

wow! Is there a thread here on the forum that goes into more detail about these errors?

And about the price, it's really expensive for something that doesn't even work and needs to be repaired (I don't know if I should make this comparison, but the price charged can afford 2 latest generation game consoles here in Brazil)

It’s not a great player at all for movies. The video is noisy, there’s no auto reverse, and it lacks digital or AC-3. The player itself vibrates pretty bad. The games are super expensive, all of them, not to mention bad. The default remote sucks. The modules self destruct from cap failure. I wouldn’t pay half that price for a working one, I wouldn’t pay anything for a broken one.

LD players will for sure freeze up from lack of use. Lots and lots of things do

Exactly ditto what Zeta said .

Not going to even add anymore than that.

Yes all the threads listed for Pioneer CLD-A100.

? That link just shows the hardware info page, no other topics from the forum.
Not sure if that's correct or not.

That's correct, look down a little!

Can't make it more obvious that these are forum topics

Oh I see it now, I wasn't sure what to look for on the main page.
HAHA thx

If it’s of any consolation rein-o, you’re not the only one that couldn’t see it at first - I reckon we should both go and stand at the back of the classroom now!

Yeah I would have never looked at that area, I've never looked at that area for titles and didn't notice it.
