NOS Pioneer DVL 919 on ebay?

Archived from groups: alt.video.laserdisc (More info?)

Somebody has brand-new 919's for $719. I have 2 704's now, think this
might be a good pick-up for a long-term backup?

I believe it is based on the CLD604 for the LD mechanism. Kurtis might
know for sure.

Kurtis, I do have 2 CLD-704's now, one I really need to get to you for
repair/tune up. When you hit play it just sits there for a bit and
then ejects the disc. I tried cleaning the rubber ring once with no
success, I should probably try again. Second one works fine.
I just wasnt positve if the 919 was based on the 60x or 70x series. If
the latter, would be nice to get a NEW ld player for $700.
