About 15 yrs ago Fair Radio Sales in Lima Ohio had a lot of CED discs and players. They have moved to a different location in Lima than when I visited it, but they may just have the CED stuff still. There are still items in the catalog that they had back then, so it may be worth a call (the CED's are not in their current catalog).

This may be too far away for you but last time I looked Trade-n-Treasures secondhand store in Midland Texas on Illinois St. had a good selection of CED's. This was about 6 mos. ago so am not absolutely certain they are there now.

Does someone sell kits of universal belts that would work for these (or can the actual belts be ordered?) Between my two CED's I had enough good belts to just get by, although one is still a little lazy. I bought a couple kits of belts 10 years ago, just a sort of universal VCR kit, but they are all used up.

There was a big box of CED's at the flea market this fall but the vendor wanted something like $5 each or some such. I would have given $5 for the whole box! Who else would want them, besides me and the rest of the tv nuts here!?

Visit this web site: http://www.cedmagic.com/selectavision.html
They have various pages on player maintenance, movie listings and
more than you'd ever want to know on videodiscs.

We used a belt from a VCR or CD player belt kit to fix the loading mechanism on a CED player recently. Had to clean off a lot of disintegrated rubber from the old belt. I think this is the only belt in it isn't it...seems like it is a direct drive turntable motor.

Here is a link to Studio Sound belt kits:

We have used their belt kits with good results.
They also sell individual belts.

i sold about 3 or 4 hundred of those ced systems and we rented the disc by the hundreds. i hauled away a truckload of players about 3 years ago. kept about 4 that worked. technology has changed. the first player cost me about $350.00 wholesale. i also would order about 40 rca console tv,s at a time back then. and we are in a small town of about 2500 people.

The RCA CED videodiscs have always amazed me too, that they were actually able to squeeze whole color and stereo movies onto something that was almost as low-tech as a 33rpm record album, just a vinyl record with grooves in it. When you pull a disc out of the case and look at it it's just plain hard to believe...Frenchy
