This represents the final glory days of Zenith electronics, it was all over by the mid 80's

Historic first non-tape video playback medium, expensive to own back then, $500 for the player and $20-40 for each movie disc set. This is the grand dad of the blu-ray tech of today. Pioneering first devices always go up in value.  This is an investment that entertains.

This is CED (capacitive electronic disk system) predecessor to the Large Laserdiscs. CED does not utilize a laser pickup and CED disks are not prone to disk rot. CED disks can outlast Laserdiscs in storage.

CONDITION:

The discs seem OK, some labels are imperfect from age and normal aging of the paper labels. Tested three movies

The player was serviced, cleaned lubed and adjusted.  Servicer stated the cartridge is worn so the picture is grainy or weak.  The cartridge is designed for upto 1000 hours.

These discs are very heavy, dinner plate heavy each. So local pick up as listed

unless someone requests shipping arrangments. Should ship media mail in multiple boxes plus the player. The low purchase price should make it worthwhile to ship.
