Okay, so here is the deal. As most of you who know me, know I collect old media crap.

There are a few things I've not been able to add to my collection and I thought I would try here before I go elsewhere.

So, if anyone has and would like to get rid of the following or has an idea where I could get these things at a reasonable price please let me know.

I'm looking for a CD-I unit that can play back movies. I really don't care about games on it or game controllers, I just want it for the video play back to add to the list of formats I have.

Any movies for it would be cool also.

Also, looking for a VHD player. Working would be great, but non working so long as it was good looking would be fine too.

And again any videos for it would be cool too.

And the very rare chance if any has a U-matic unit, Video 2000, or D-Theater player. Well.. just thought I would ask.

I used to work for a media company that had a U-matic deck, as well as Beta and CED machines. One tip I can suggest is check to see if there's any video production studios nearby, give them a call and ask if they have any older machines that they don't want anymore. If they've been in business awhile, chances are they'll have a storage room with some obsolete media decks.

I collect the same stuff but never ran across any of those formats or players except for on Ebay. Sometimes you can get lucky by looking at government auctions on websites like this:
https://www.govdeals.com/

But those are usually pickup only.

You already have Video8 checked off your list?

I've a player and a few movies for video 8, but not many. I would like a better player as mine isn't the vcr kind but the portable no screen just take around and hook up kind. Always looking for more videos that are cool.



I plan on getting rid of a lot of my excess stuff and just keeping the videos I like, for example I have three boxed copies of The Last Unicorn on Betamax and I really only need one good copy, so I should make myself trade off two but I've just never gotten around to messing with it. I need to cull the herd some.
