With over 100 LDs still, I've being hunting for a backup LD player, I've been hunting around for such a beast, mainly on EPay, and finally got tired of getting outbidded (those bidders are nutty!) for the past month or so.
But today I saw a Pioneer CLD-D704 up for grabs, and I just bit the bullet with the buy-it-now price and went for it. Hopefully it'll arrive safe and sound within a week.
I kept thinking I wanted a dual DVD/LD player, but I already have one of those, and I have like 2 or 3 DVD players, so I thought going the LD-only route was a good choice, and that limited my search a bit further to the main Elite 79/99 or the CLD-D704 (since the dual DVD/LD player were fetching more than what I wanted to spend). So while I guess I lucked out (there's one more 704 up for grabs, but a bidding war will eventually ensue in the last waning minutes of that auction, and hopefully the final bid will be near what I paid, so I won't feel so "impatient" about the purchase).
Please let this LD player show up in good working order...
