Cool guys, here's some of the standouts I've found (yeah, I've gone a bit crazy, haha):

Sony:

DVP-S7000 (3) - Sony's first DVD player, ES quality, R-core transformer, same audio section as their CDP-XA7ES CD player. Found two thrifting, one eBay (early model w/ internal region/copy free DIP switches)
DVP-S7700 - Follow-up model with DTS support, inferior build quality to 7000.
DVP-NS900V - DVD/SACD, $15 mint thrift shop find.
BDP-S1 - Their first Blu-ray player, bought "as-is", works fine.

Denon:

DVD-2910 - Region free DVD/SACD/DVD-A/CD
DVD-955 - Same as 2910 but in silver, $25 thrift find, also region free.

Toshiba:

SD-6200 - Their top of the line "Dual Disc" two-disc DVD player.
SD-5700 - Single disc version of the 6200 w/ DVD-Audio.
SD-9100 - Their first 480p flagship DVD player
SD-9200 (2) - Tank-like flagship DVD player, copper chassis, with DVD-Audio, one from eBay and one heavily marked up from a yard sale, rock solid though.
HD-A1 - Their first HD DVD player.
HD-A3 - Seems to be the one HD DVD model I see used the most.
HD-A35 - Closeout purchase when HD DVD died.

Panasonic:

DVD-A320 - Their first flagship player, fantastic color reproduction for an early 480i player.
DVD-RP81 - Progressive flagship player w/ DVD-Audio.
DVD-S97 - Their last high performance DVD model before Blu-ray took hold, w/ DVD-Audio.
DMP-BD10 - Their first Blu-ray player, 14-bit/297Mhz video DAC.

Oppo:

OPDV971H (2) - Bought one from Oppo, then found another for $15 at flea market.
OPDV980H (2) - Bought one from Oppo, then found another for $5 at flea market, just last year.

Samsung:

DVD HD-1000 - Thirty-eight pound high end statement piece, first DVD player anywhere to offer 720p/1080i HD upscaling, R-core transformer, copper chassis, selectable Luxman audio DACs. Rare.
BDP-1200 - HQV Reon processor, excellent HD upscaling of DVD.
BDP-U5000 - Their first and only Blu-ray/HD DVD combo player, also with HQV Reon for DVD.

JVC:

XV-511 - Their first DVD player, well built but hard-set to incorrect NTSC black level (IRE 0 instead of 7.5).
XV-BP1 - Their first Blu-ray player, released a bit later so it's not as handicapped as other early BD decks. Rare.
