Holy-moly, look what the Russians made!
Well, I found in the past that the Soviets/Russian made one LaserDisc player (C.A.V. only), Rus-501-video: http://www.rw6ase.narod.ru/00/wideo/rus_wp201.html
On a Romanian forum there is a talk about life in Ceauşescu era and after a reply I started to search for Czech C.D. players (yes, they did assambled that during Communism) and rembered this player... so I started to look with "Gooogle" after pictures (or even videos) with it... and I found out that they made another player, "Rus/Amfiton" VP-201: http://www.rw6ase.narod.ru/00/wideo/rus_wp201.html Well, but I was really shocked when I've seen that beside the 2nd player, they made discs too!!! Yes, Russian LaserDiscs!: http://forum.auto.ru/audiovideo/176849/ http://formeleins.ucoz.ru/forum/50-150-45 http://formeleins.ucoz.ru/forum/50-150-46

Yes, is an old techonology stuff. In other countries that made/assambled L.D. players the He-Ne lamp was gone in the '80's.

That looks like it's mostly Russian made too, I see only one foreign made IC. Bringing that thing back to life would be no small task, those silver electrolytic caps have a life span of about five minutes, and there's lots of them!

Capacitors is one problem, they can be replaced, but other stuff can be extremly problematic if broken.

My experience repairing USSR made electronics, has been that a lot of persistence and patience is required, and that components age prematurely. Everything is suspect, including the design. Also, since living space is at a premium it's often stored in poor conditions, so surprises such as dead cockroaches and evidence of mice are to be expected... On the other hand wouldn't it be fun to make that machine work ?

"Holey moley" indeed! I did not know that SECAM laser discs were ever made, and that was the USSR color standard. Those machines, with 1989- and 1990-dated parts, are a real throwback to the earliest Pioneer and Magnavox laser disc player designs.
Thank you for posting those fascinating links.

Ha, it seems that those 1993-1994 discs where P.A.L.! On the one with "Nu, pogodi" it's says PAL!
Well, people are stunned when they found out about Laser Discs... when you'll show them a machine and discs Zdielano v Rossia, I think the'll be schocked.

Good evening, Stefan!
These models were really created in Russia. They were a copy of the early LD Pioneer's players. I have not seen them. All models were original, not for sale. Unfortunately, they had too bad vision and sound. I recommend you to purchase Pioneer CLD-925 – NTSC/PAL LD player. As to LD "Nu, pogodi", it produced in limited edition, not fot sale.

A friend of mine went to Russia to run a small tv network there. They did everything in PAL inside the station and just converted and xmtd in SECAM on the stations he ran.

Fascinating. I wonder if a color system conversion is part of the "interface board" that is used with the earlier player (the model 501).
