There's a video of the seller demoing it on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTAAXkMMDWoHe asked a bit over $100 for the player. I just called him and he suggest I have to pick it up at his room 30 min from my home,he suggest a pick up and test the stuff in person that's a good sign right there at least I don't have to worry about frustrated underpaid post officer throwing and slam stuff on the table or a shipping carrier that runs on scam. Well it seems like you either get this player or you don't get any player. For your location and monetary situation this is your best option and if you do plan to take the risk then this is it.

I finally made up my mind I'll get the CLD-2070 instead. You will be happy with that player, I'm getting one and I own a 3070. You also aren't the first person to get 5 pages asking which or if you should get a player, so that's the real issue, we've all read it before. Good luck and enjoy LD

It stared out fine and I even performed an AC3 mod on it. Anyway, soon enough I started to have issues with it in respect that it stopped reading discs and thus took it to a shop to get an analysis. They sort of got it working for a short time but then it went out again and they couldn't figure out the problem. I quickly junked it after removing all the AC3 hardware that I had put into it (the AC3 RF mod never really worked well in this player anyway as the mute circuit did not exist in it). Anyway, always stick with Pioneer or any of the clones that Pioneer made for other manufacturers. An LD-V4200 should be fine. And if it's cheap, even better just to get started w/ some player. Can't be too choosy these days.

rein-o wrote: Sounds like it could need grease or even belts? Ditto on that. I would first check to see if the skipping issue is always @ that same time mark on every disc you play. If so, check to see if there is any accumulated dry grease and see about wiping away. Might even be a focus issue you can check on that is affecting both CD and LD playback. Lastly, a belt replacement is always a high possibility considering the age of the player.

No,it's not at the same mark,three disc it skips at around 7:35,8:07 and 9:44 mark respectively but if any disc play past 10 minute mark then no more skip after that.

Just remembered something from a past experience. Open up your player to observe the issue you are having at the same time points you mentioned. Observe what happens in respect to checking the laser pick-up track for any obstructions (that would also include dry grease) and also look at the ribbon cable that connects the laser pick-up to the main board to see if there might be some sticker on it that is coming off. My CLD-D701 had an issue of skipping always in the same area and I noticed over time that there was a sticky residue on my laser pick-up’s ribbon cable from some old sticker. After I cleaned off the residue with a combination of alcohol and baby oil (make sure to be gentle with the cable and don’t crease it), I never had a problem again.
