Hi LDDb folks.
I had been quietly going on my obsessive personal quest to replace my dead and much-loved Yamaha CDV-W901 and buying LD players on eBay that were showing up inoperative because no one on eBay knows what a transport screw is, when I discovered this site and was pleased to see the community.

A special thanks to "Julien" for putting the note on alt.video.laserdisc that directed me here. (Yes, in 2020.)
Thanks to the lot of you for keeping the tech alive.

I've mostly been a cybersecurity person, former s/w developer, and telecom guy for a while. In more recent decades, I've been a coach to tech startup founders and investor when I'm not trying to figure out my own "next new thing."

For fun, I sometimes like to scan satellites for weird TV.

Nouns/adjectives of note for me might be: Serious coffee drinker, hacker, angel, pilot, third-generation amateur radio operator, occasional competitive shooter, and aspiring perfumer. I could tell you some others, but then I'd have to give your LD collection bit rot.

Warm regards,
--Strat

Welcome to the madness strat!

Just remember Strat that not all players have transit screws and I some of them don't matter if they are in or not during shipping.

Enjoy the format, its nice to have a hobby in these days.

Hello Strat & enjoy the LD format & your time on here.
