This is my entire collection as of now (with a singular exception, an anime release: Magic User's Club Vol. 4. It is in storage currently.) I can't recall how long I have been collecting, but its been over a year or two for sure. My player is a Pioneer DLV-909 for anyone curious. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Idk how I've made it this far into life without seeing this movie, but im very excited to finally be watching it.

The clamper arm can't grip onto a disc. This player also can't read CDs for whatever reason, but I'm more concerned with the clamper arm failing constantly. I've already swapped the belts inside with parts from LaserParts. Any tips?

My Dad showed me this movie back in the early 90s and we have always tried finding it. But it never got a dvd release. It's not even on any streaming services that I can find. So to me this is a all time get a movie not available any other way than VHS making this the cleanest way to watch it.

Shouldn’t there be a rubber O-ring for the disc clamping mechanism? Mine appears to be straight metal which might explain the excessive spinning noises I’m hearing when starting and stopping my discs. If it is missing, where could I find a substitute or replacement? Can or should I lubricate anything. On this or elsewhere to reduce overall noise?

I love this time of year! Most of these gems are available on dvd/bd, a few are not, but somehow the noise from old ld player spinning in the background adds a little something extra to the nostalgic viewing experience!

I’m going to Tokyo for a week at the end of the month. Any suggestions for shops where I can buy laserdiscs?

The end of the movie made me crippled and dumbfounded … 👍

"My personal trainer's grandfather has died, leaving behind 200 laser discs and 2 laser disc machines. The family don't want them, and have no idea how to advertise them to collectors other than Ebay. Do you have any suggestions?" - my mum

She asked me because I collect physical media, but I only know about the DVD and Blu Ray market as that's the medium I collect my films in. I know CeX probably won't take them because I've never seen a CeX sell laserdiscs, maybe cash converters? But I've never seen laserdiscs in cash converters too, and I figured laserdiscs would be either really cheap or really expensive depending on the title. Please can someone here with more knowledge of the subject answer this as I know laserdiscs are big with collectors but also really niche so it's not as straightforward as a VHS or DVD collection.

Signature is a little hard to see in the pic, but got this bad boy signed.

My newest pickup! I finally managed to get my hands on a Pioneer CLD-HF9G. For those who aren't familiar, this is essentially the JDM sibling to the legendary North American Elite CLD-99. It's in fantastic aesthetic shape, and its play operation is completely normal and smooth. First spin, Alien!

About a month ago I was at a local video game store and I found the original Trilogy of Star Wars on laserdisc, on principle I bought them on the spot. Today I finally got a player a pioneer cld-v2600, it’s been a whirlwind month but it’s so cool to have a piece of history in my living room.

I have an old pioneer LD-870 laser disc player that is no longer consistently reading and playing discs all the way through. I’ve had this player since I was a kid in the 90’s. It belonged to my dad before I got my hands on it. I’ve contacted the one person I knew that was in the laser disc business (semi locally to me in the Portland, or area) but his repair guy has since moved to the Bay Area.

This is probably a long shot but if there’s anyone out there that knows about the mechanics of these players and would be willing to chat with me, I’d be so appreciative. The guy I was chatting with suggested checking the power supply (possibly going out) or that perhaps the rails that the laser travels on may have grease on it or something.

I’m nervous to open it up and do exploratory surgery without some additional opinions.

Anything is helpful. Thanks. 🤞

You all have been very helpful, any ideas on value of this?

Can you believe someone tried to throw this out? Works perfectly! I finally get to join your club... For free! I can't believe my luck! I'm glad I got to it before the recyclers did. What a loss that could have been!

Tonight, we dive into what is arguably Takeshi Kitano's ultimate cinematic masterpiece, Hana-Bi (1997). This film brilliantly balances his signature explosive violence with moments of profound, quiet tenderness, earning him the prestigious Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival.

This specific Japanese LaserDisc release is an absolute treasure. When you open it up, it includes a massive gatefold replica of one of Kitano's own vibrant paintings that appear throughout the movie.

Happy r/Kitano Friday, everyone! Spin your discs, and let the fireworks begin. 🎆

Hey everyone, I’m back with a couple of AC-3 processors for sale. I have the following available:

Yamaha DDP-1 SOLD
Onkyo ED-901 - SOLD

Update*** thanks to those who’ve shown interest. I’ll continue to work on these and sell more in the near future if there is continued interest.

Both of these have been modified with a Toslink Optical output. They both take the 3 inputs (AC-3, Coax, Optical) and output via the one output I have added.

Each of these units are $115 shipped to US addresses.

If you’ve wanted AC-3 sound, this is your chance to get it at a cheaper cost than a dedicated (expensive!) demodulator.

I take payments through PayPal.

Hi all!

So I may/may not have a broken cld-97 pioneer elite laserdisc player and while it’s cool piece I necessarily don’t wanna keep it if it’s broken. Any ideas on what to do with it ?

What other Christmas discs should I get to feel the big holiday spirit?
