I was surprised that this actually just worked when I tried it out, but after making it most of the way through an episode of Star Trek, the color started dropping in and out. I read that this was a belt issue, caused by the belt slipping and the turntable not going at a constant speed. So anyone know where to get CED player belts?

Also, is there anywhere around here I can pic up some beta tapes? (I know I can buy them on ebay, but I'd like to just drive somewhere nearby and pick one up) - I don't have any, and I'd like to pick up a tape to test that VCR with, I don't care what it is. When I lived in Los Angeles there was a thrift store I used to go to that had probably thousands of beta tapes (I don't know if they still have them, that was about 10 years ago now). I also know a thrift store in Lansing that even last year usually had a few beta tapes in with the VHS.

I'll post pics of the CED player later...
I don't know if you were still there, when I got there. I had my vintage collectors T shirt on. I got there a little late, because of running into a lot of road construction, plus I got up a little late, not factoring that in.
There was a few radios, that I would've been interested in, but I was aced out, too late and a Dollar short.
There was only one that I was interested in, that was inside the building, but the old buzzard wouldn't deal and wanted to sell anything, I wasn't interested in. .
