Technical marvel in its day

My new (to me) piece of #AV equipment arrived today; the Kramer VP-733Amp!

Technically it's an industrial "Presentation Switcher" but nerds like me are interested in it because it contains a ADV7842; pretty much the best 3D comb filter there is for #laserdisc video.

However I do own a copy of the actual last #laserdisc, pressed at the last factory still producing the format before it shut down in 2006 or 2007.

An 8 inch single sided "LD Single" from the 音多Station (Onta Station) karaoke series - 22DK-995

Wow! "Tokyo Raiders," - The last film ever released on #laserdisc (though not by far the actual "last laserdisc") recently sold for just under $2000.

I'd love to have this oddity in my collection...but my pockets aren't that deep!

Mitä tapahtui kuvanlaadultaan ylivoimaiselle LaserDisc -formaatille?

Käymme läpi elokuvafanien rakastaman LaserDiscin historiaa ja pohdimme syitä, miksei formaatista tullut aikoinaan massojen rakastamaa, kuten VHS:stä.

Alas, 0 #laserdisc players (lmk if you have a lead on one for a friend) #CambridgeMA #MITFlea

So sad to hear of the passing of Kenneth Colley who played Admiral Piett in #StarWars.

I will always remember when I asked him to sign my huge #laserdisc box set. He looked at it, stunned, then looked up at me as asked "What the fuck is that?!"

He had fun looking through the set and book

Heaven help me. A CD Video for Level 42. Can't even play the video portion (it's analogue ala laserdisc) though the CD bit plays OK on any cd player. #CD #CDVideo #laserdisc #80s

I don't have anymore a Laserdisc player, but I considered 1000 yens for this Gall Force trilogy was a real offer! #retro #laserdisc #gallforce

New Arrival of #RetroTech Old Tat at AVAV Towers

Laser Etched #LaserDisc

Been after one for ages, but they are silly money, this one wasn’t. I’m not an Anime fan either, but all the ones I’m aware of, are

Looks lovely, though it’s hard to photograph.

Before anyone asks, it’s the ‘blank’ side, but it does play a short ‘play other side’ message. Sadly not @LaserdiscTurtle :-)

Anyway, more tat for the collection

@obsoletemediauk

@felsqualle @fuchsiii that's because around 2010s they cheaped out with organic binder (same shit as #LaserDisc used) and decided that's good enough.

Consider imaging your stuff and/or using #MDISC recordables...

#DiscRot

@felsqualle @fuchsiii yeah, you guys can thank the folks who thought it was a great idea to use the same organic binder as used in the #LaserDisc...

If you need optical archives, consider buying #MDISC recordables...
