Pioneer CLD-3080 upgrade or mod? Want a "play everything" player but this doesn't hav
Good afternoon everyone
Have been keeping an eye out for a while now and haven't seen anything. Basically where I'm at is I have a CLD-3080 that I bought off I think FBMP ~1 year ago, no picture, got it fixed and it's been good since. Flips over OK and no perceived problems. I recently saw another player with a collection of discs for sale with no model number. Contacted seller, turns out it's a CLD-1010. I'm assuming that a CLD-1010 would not be an upgrade from a 3080 correct? I've not yet seen any players for sale in my area with AC3 output. The 3080 has both S-video and optical S/PDIF. At this point I'm wondering if it would be worthwhile to have my CLD-3080 modded to provide an AC3 output. In the opinion of this group is that worth doing, or would that a) not produce the same results that using a player designed with said output would or b) lower the value of the unit? the 3080 is in nice shape and I have two remotes for it, one working and one not. The only obvious flaw, other than ~35 years of minor wear and tear, is the little control drawer doesn't latch like pretty much every one I see in pictures - the tech who replaced the bad capacitor that was killing my video said it'd take a lot of disassembly to fix it and he doubted he could get the part anyway, so I've left it. |
