Actually got a couple of Betamax tapes for a change; the original Finnish rental tape of the original Mad Max, and a drag racing event coverage from '84 the seller threw in for free.

Had a bit of a scare when the deck wouldn't mount the tape properly at first attempt, but I guess it was just from the lack of use. Guess Laserdisc players aren't the only thing you need to keep in regular use to prevent them from freezing up.

Don't need to - the guy included a capture of it on DVD-R as well!

Jeff sent me my step down transformer today so it's almost CLD-R7G time!

This has dual 110v inputs (yes I know) round the back on her hoop. So that means I can feed the CLD-R7G and my APD-2 in to it at the same time. I will then put the 3 pin plug in to my smart strip plug. This will let me switch both devices on using one plug instead of two with Harmony activities.

She's a big girl. Very heavy but well built. All metal and chunky switches. The analogue meter is superb too, hopefully I'll get a nice readout of the load.

She's a smashing looking thing. I just hope after all this the R7G actually works...

That thing looks like it provides way more wattage than you'd ever need to run two different LD players on.

WOW that's a beast, I think its twice the size of the one I had that I didn't even need for the US voltages.
The one I had could change all voltages but no meter.

I just received my Beavis and Butt-Head DVD set, its scary how this stuff is so spot on for today.

I have a transformer that will do this. Just a transformer, a huge 2 to 1 job that I can set up to convert 110 to 220 or the reverse of that. It’s in a steel box about 10x6x6 and is just the component, no sockets or fuses or cables. It’s set in resin/stone so it weighs like 12 pounds. Where I work we had a bunch of these and when we threw them out I kept one. They are so industrial that if you ran a synthesizer or a PAL TV on it or something like that it would never ever fail in 1000 years. There is probably more copper in here than in two CLD-97s.

My plan is to build a wooden box for it that I would then decorate like a cuckoo clock and it will be my “euro adaptor”. US outlets on one side and EU on the other. I haven’t gotten around to doing this though because I’ve always made it a point to avoid any 220V gear so I don’t have any. :)

Back when this show came out I knew to many kids who watched it and essentially were those guys so it’s not something I like to watch. I do love some of the jokes though. I just watched that Plasmatics video they did...quite funny. Mike Judge is one of the best.

Had a look through the instructions and it looks like it will handle 1500w which I think is better than the Airlink model which is twice the price of this one.

Airlink won't ship to New Delaware any more thanks to Brexit so I had to find an alternative from Jeff. A shame really as Airlink did proper 100w Japan transformers.

Has a circuit breaker on the back and a fused kettle lead and it's going in to a smart power strip that only comes on when activated by the LD Player Harmony activity. Should be all good.

Means nothing if the R7G doesn't work or is totally destroyed when I unbox it later. Nervous moments...

At 1500W, you could run at least 30 Laserdisc players off it simultaneously :mrgreen:

Is that the official releases or the King Turd bootleg one? Cause the latter actually has all the episodes, with the music videos in them.

sadly this is the MTV box set called the Complete Collection that has the first 3 volumes, film and 2 other discs from other released in one set.
I saw some bootleg sets on ebay recently, one was 300 and the other was a 16 disc set for around 75 and I'm just not going to spend that
on bootlegs unless I rip them and sell copies but I'm not interested in doing that.

I got the individual volumes myself but I haven't even touched them ever since I downloaded some VHS rips of the entire series. After all, why would I want to watch an incomplete series in an incomplete form?

The King Turd collection is much higher quality than those VHS old rips but I need to get my hands on a whole bunch of blank DVDs.

Oh boy, I'm so ancient when it comes to doing this.
So do I need anything special for the torrent?? I've got blanks and would love to have this rather than pay someone 75 bucks.

Saw this was 18 DVDs worth, I'm sure I can figure it out but any advice would be great.
Don't know if I really care about the videos but haven't seen this stuff since new on mtv.

Edit: I did some searches and can figure it out, now it all depends on if I have the actual time to do it.
I have a case of discs which would be perfect for this but time and all is another story.
