An excellent choice.

Nice one! Enjoy

Hell these R7Gs are getting so common that they are starting to surround me - first to the west in Ireland now to the east in The Netherlands, will je280 up in Scotland be getting one next I wonder?

Every time I switch on my R7G and put on my Best of Sade CD.



This is me when I want to read my CLD-R7G instruction manual. When you own an R7G, the instruction manual is brought to you. Preferably on a tray. With breakfast. And a copy of the FT.



The CLD-R7G. The Créme de la Menthe of Laserdisc players. Pure luxury.

Are you considering buying a second one to install in your new Tesla Ted?

Congratulations
Ill add you to the membership club once it arrives safely.

All corners of the globe almost ted!

No sir. Tesla's have the build quality of a Homer Simpson spice rack.

I'm not ready for full BEV yet but did just buy a nice PHEV recently. Made by that nice crowd in Germany. It has a button on it that is an acronym for Get There Early. Never has a joke acronym actually resembled the truth because it's bloody quick!

Without question though the next car will be a full 100% electric. It's just a revision or two short of the mark for me just at the minute. I'll likely go German again too. Can't beat a bit of German efficiency. I just wish we were as clever as them with towels and sunloungers though. I believe Germany are still the current world #1's at it?

It's the Tina Turner of Laserdisc players. Simply the best!

...and that DEXT button. Ooooh baby!

There is not a Runco option.

It was too much of a niche market to be statistically relevant.

But the Hardware/Device collections will soon be ready and Runco is listed.

Feel free to correct/update missing information.

The beauty arrived and works like a champ. That is probably the good thing of a small country like The Netherlands. Ship arrives directly at a Dutch port and player gets delivered almost instantly without changing hands 10 times like in bigger / land locked countries.

If your lucky enough to own a R7G your lucky enough indeed.

The Barry White of Laserdisc players. The R7G was once voted GQ magazine's sexiest disc tray in 2004 and the back panel was three time Playboy Rear of the Year winner in 1997, 1998 and 1999. The award was discontinued in 2000 when everyone else realised they stood no chance of winning.

There was even a play by mail R7G game. You basically sent a letter in the post with what instruction to give the R7G e.g. press play, and you would get a letter back with your next instruction along with a signed photo of the R7G itself.

Happy memories! None true of course.

I own a practically new Panasonic LX-900 revision 1995 with the stickers still on it. I think I'm lucky to have this. I paid around 315 dollars for it off ebay a couple years ago. From what I read online it has a sharper picture out of the box compared to a CLD-97 but apparently the CLD-97 has a better noise reduction from what people say online. I don't feel like Noise is much of an issue with this player. Biggest complaint is the weird cut off of the screen on the right side. Other than that it's probably considered one of the better players and it works like it's brand New without any issues. Don't even see any serious cosmetic issue on it.

The correct remote arrived for my flagship. And the 3D filter functions are simply brilliant.

Barry White would approve.

I have a Pioneer 3070. It was over a thousand dollars at the time, but video fidelity was/is as important to me as audio fidelity! It needs a new belt or motor for the tray, but that is another story.

I believe ALL your main players are now fairly well documented:

Feel free to add power / dimensions and check if the connectors in/out are correct!

I think we can close this poll now since you can all add your LD Player in your hardware collection now.

We'll make a popularity ranking based on ALL LD players (and other devices) we collectively own!
