I posted in the Welcome thread already but I figured I'd get more personal here.

My name is Shawn and I LOVE Laserdiscs. I currently have a Pioneer Elite DVL-90 in working order. I am watching a Panasonic LX-900 and a Pioneer CLD-D704 for archiving my LD's. From the little I do know about machines, the LX-900 and the D704 are fairly good choices. I am also a fan of DTS cinema audio. I've accumulated a small collection of film discs and have a small "looking for" list to boot.

I also own a Panasonic AG-1980 S-VHS machine which is nice for transferring old VHS tapes if needed.

At the end of the day, I don't have a huge budget for collecting so I try, like most do, to watch for those deals when they happen. My Pioneer Elite is a nice machine for watching movies but not so well for archiving. The picture is soft and lacks the detail I'd like. I'm excited to be here. I had a previous account but was away so long that it probably got pruned as I didn't really post. I have started adding stuff to my collection list so folks can see what I'm in to. Star Wars, Star Trek, Alien and Sci-Fi/Horror mostly. I have a few animated LD's like Fantasia, Toy Story, Nightmare Before X-mas, to name a few. My 8 year old daughter has grown a small interest in LD movies. She will occasionally ask me to put in The Adams Family or Tales From The Crypt: Demon Knight.

Anyways ..... I'm glad to be a part of this site and look forward to learning more as I go.

Good day to you jetrellfo69

I have just read your returned entry post and I enjoyed the read, as it helps in getting to know others, and that's a healthy thing.

I especially liked the part: That it probably got pruned

Welcome aboard and thank you for sharing.

No doubt we will correspond at some stage.

Kind Regards to you

Hi Shawn,

Former Wisconsinite here. I had to move to Indiana for work. Bummer! But good to have a job I enjoy...

Anyway, I travel back to southern WI to visit friends and family. If you would like some movies on the cheap, I have a few for sale. This way you could save the shipping costs. LDDB will still get their $$

Just throwing it out there. Enjoy the movies with your kids. My 3 year old watches Toy story, little mermaid and rocky and Bullwinkle. Snow white, and a few other Disney movies so far, according to her, are for "big kids"(too scary)!

Eric

Hi,
I'm in Milwaukee too. Still running my trusty old Panasonic LX-H670 auto reverse model, rock solid machine. Got it hooked up to a 120" HD projector. Yes, the 10' screen is cool and the 7 channel 200 watt sound system makes it even more awesome!

I know what you mean about looking for deals out there. Some times Half Price Books will have good ones for $3-5 but, it's mostly stuff we're not very interested in. You know how it is. Seems they've been influenced by the 'vinyl revival' and started jacking up the prices across the board so finding anything under $5 these days is a rarity.

I've got a sizable collection (500+) and drastically need to downsize. If you are interested in stopping by to peruse through a few boxes sometime shoot me a PM.

I am not a dealer or anything so it's not like I need to make money on em or anything. Mostly just want to ensure they to go to a good home.
LDDB is the best place to find them.
