That is also interesting news about the Magnavision players, and thank you for the repair tips. I have a VH8000 in its original box, and I would like to get it working some day. (I don't remember what it did when I tried it after I bought it a few years ago, I'm not sure if it even started spinning the disc.)
I worked for a store in Illinois when the players and discs were first introduced there in October 1980, right about the time the news of all the problems was spreading. Our Magnavox distributor gave us the full original Discovision catalog of 200+ movies, but when we went to place an order, the actual list available was about 25 titles, and a couple of weeks later it was about 11, I think. This was all still before any Extended Play (CLV) discs were manufactured, other than the original three titles that were already long gone by then.
