Just bought a Pioneer CLD-1010 this morning off Craigslist for $50, so I figured it was time I joined you guys instead of just reading your posts.

My name is Derrick. I will be 40 this year, and I live in Denver. I had an LD player briefly in the late 90's, back when you could still go into a Virgin Megastore and buy new LDs. (I intend to get SHOWGIRLS and GOLDENEYE again before too long.) Lately I have been hanging out at the tapeheads forum, which is dedicated to analog audio collectors. I thought I was one of them, until I realized that it's movies that I love in old formats -- not music.

There's a local used book/record store that has a decent selection of LDs. I'll swing by there tonight and pick up one or two to test out my machine (Hoping they still have Patton; sleeve was in perfect condition when I was last there).

So here I am. Let the LD collecting commence! (and probably CED before long, too)

good to hear from you.
since you had it you know what LD is.
i had a CED player, it was fun but just didn't have the space for it, only lasted about 3 weeks

We love lurkers !!!! LoL .....

Big welcome to the ranks of the fit !!!
LaserDisc is a way of life, no matter what the critical members of this Forum type !!!!
Good fortune hunting for your shelves ..........

Good day to you ytonic,

Good to have you aboard ''I enjoyed the LURKING bit''

I am 50 this year.......Boy doe's the time fly, and have enjoyed the Laserdisc Format for about 15years now and hopefully I will never part with my collection.

To be honest I am still collecting titles, although available funds are slim on the ground right now.

Happy collecting.

I love that player. Did it come with the remote? I got my CLD-1010 when it was released in mid-1987 and it's still working great. Although I don't need to, I want to have an AC-3 RF out and PCM/DTS output added. The 1010 was Pioneer's last combination player to use two separate motors for CD/CDV and LaserDisc, which I always thought was a good idea.
