Hi, I'm Chris(35/M/Atlanta)

I am a video-head, I've been collecting and hunting since the beginning of this century...

First memory actually experiencing different movie formats outside of movie theaters: Mid 80's at my neighbor's house, I was amazed at all the BetaMAX Movies he had.. Me and a bunch of friend's used to always hangout at his place, cause he had all the cool and new electronic's.. haha

Players I have now:
4 LaserDisc Players: 2 Pioneers 1 hooked up is a Pioneer CLD-S201 (1 DiscoVideo from 1984) and 1 Realistic
(Willing to part with 3 for trade or an agreeable price, ask for more info)

Possibly 3 BetaMAX:
I say possibly because I forgot if I just donated an old one to a Thrift Store because it was in shambles and poor condition, it's a mid/high-end 2 piece Sony the black one with the digital tuner and optional second piece for additional audio/video - input/outputs... 1 Sanyo BetaCord and 1 hooked up is a Sony BetaMAX SL-2300..
(Willing to part with the 1(or 2) for trade or an agreeable price, ask for more info.. The one in shambles would be on a as-is/parts and repair basis I can tell you though it does still power on and play tapes... One of the Co-axels is loose though)

1 RCA CED Select-A-Vision Player

A given of course that I have DVD Recorder/VHS Combo, BluRay and HD-DVD Player..

Welcome aboard Chris.. I do as well collect video equipment as i do audio too, I mainly like Beta VCRS and the vintage 1970s and 80s VHS. Never really got into Laser Disc or CED. Though if i do come across one i will probably get it...I also have a bunch of movies on Beta, that i'm trying to get rid of.. I have alot of Old B rated horror in my collection along with other stuff like Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street. I also have a bunch of non horror movies...

I didn't make a list yet, but i should. I've tried to sell them locally on Craigslist but no one in the area is intrested in Beta.. I have alot of the very big popular movies from the 80s, like Top Gun which i have duplicates of, That i'm trying to get rid of. I'll have to take time out and record a list of the movies....

Does anyone have any of those pre-cert films, they always look really cool especially vintage horrors.

I've just started collecting VHS tapes as I intend to put some shelves up to make a feature wall 9' (h) x 8' (w) :eek:

I'm about halfway there (350) need another 300 tapes.
