Mmmm - Pioneer VP1000 LD player - nice! What's that beast like in operation? Is it noisy (mechanically)? Also, what'll you do when the gas tube laser burns out?

I'm getting paranoid about my 1992 Pioneer 1750's laser diode popping, but YOUR beast is easily, what, 25 years old???

BTW - I know well-made equipment from the 70s-80s can last - I have a mint 1972 Akai CR81D 8track cartridge recorder in my AV rig! Must be rarer than rocking horse poo here in the UK!
