Cplusplus had made a post on this..... List of Laserdisc Player MSRPsIf my memory serves me correctly, I think I recall the cheapest machines to be either an LD-870 for about $299 (1989) or the CLD-S104 for maybe $249 (1995). The former was a real dog having only analog sound, a front display with just LED indicators, and no CD playback (hence not having a CLD designator).

Some want the pure analog to feed into external processors. Hey Kurtis, Wouldn't other "non digital field memory" players such as the CLD-1010, 1030, 1070, 1080, 1090, 2070, 2080, 2090, etc. also qualify on this list of pure analog players?

i found the bulk of my collection of Anime LDs via someone on CRAIGSLIST offering them along with a CLD-S104 for, -what was it?- like $80 or so.
i already had my CLD-3030, and -to me- the S104 fell drastically short on video quality, physical build and overall cosmetics, so off it went.
in hindsight, i probably should have retained it as a spare player, but that was back around -what?- 2009 i believe, so it's all water very much under the bridge...

And wouldn’t they produce less noise? Way way less noise?
