That's probably good advice. Question about transferring to digital though. I've always used composite on my other players, but since this one has internal filtering, it seems like it would be best to connect to my capture device with s-video here rather than having it go from composite LD signal -> internal comb -> recombine chroma/luma to composite.

I'll get some stills from some CAV discs and post samples with both methods later in case anyone else is interested in the difference. Maybe I'll cap the same frame from all 6 player models I have for comparisons. I might just be bored enough.

Yes the DVL can be modded for direct composite out, but you need to know a lot about electronics to accomplish it. Before you get to this level of min/maxing though you would need to make sure all the adjustments are close to perfect. If you are only considering this for archival purposes, you should look into getting a Domesday Duplicator. I think it would be best to leave the player closed and enjoy your find!

Is there anyway you could post some pictures? It would be greatly appreciated. I've just started getting into laserdiscs so I am not very savvy with these terms but I am really trying to get this player going for the holidays, thanks any help will be appreciated. You really need to start a new topic with your issue. I think its centering but not 100% sure as I'm not a tech just know side b can have that issue. but there are many things you need to figure first before you start messing with the player to make sure its not just the disc etc.

The turn mechanism is different (more like a 703/4) but the cores of the pickup and spindle motor are compatible. The decoding chips are quite similar too - the LD PCB was laid out in a newer late 90's technology, though, so it looks quite different. If the composite output of the TBC is brought out and not just grounded, since they probably never planned to do direct composite out, that bypass mod could work fine.

If the composite output of the TBC is brought out and not just grounded, since they probably never planned to do direct composite out, that bypass mod could work fine. The spindle motors are mostly the same. Motors with red & white wires from a CLD will not work in a DVL for DVD playback. Motors with green & white wires will work in either player. The LD pickups are interchangeable with the exception of an additional clip on plastic part for the CLD pickup with keeps the ribbon cable from folding back on itself when switching from B to A.
