Hello all! Coolest site ever!
Too bad I only recently discovered it. I am currently uploading my titles to the Collection portion of the site (up to 668 titles right now and still have at least another hundred to add). I am hoping all the wonderful people here can offer me some sound advice.
I have through Craigslist found a local working V2800 LD player. Unfortunately, the owner is unable to locate the remote control that went with it. He has asked me to make him an offer. I am considering buying it as a back-up to my current player which has been working fantastically since Fall 1991. But every time I spin a disc (almost daily), I hear its parts rumbling and I wonder what I will do on the day it stops working
.
My questions are:
1. Is this a good player to serve as a back-up?
2. Is the lack of a remote fatal or can I pick one up without much trouble?
3. What is a reasonable price to offer? If it matters, I am in NE Ohio, USA.
I thank you all in advance for any advice.
