Fellow <strong>CED</strong>'ers:<br />
I'm collecting magazines containing <strong>CED</strong> ads with the intent of finding an<br />
example of all the different ads that were published. Another collector just<br />
emailed me with one of these, so I'm requesting posts to <strong>CED</strong> Digest noting the<br />
publication, issue, and page for any ads containing <strong>CED</strong> players or discs. Here<br />
are the ones I'm presently aware of:<br />
Life, Nov '81, p. 116-- Sears 5478 player<br />
Life, Nov '81, p. 125-- RCA SFT100W player<br />
National Geographic, Oct '81, Front Ad Section-- Sears 5474 player<br />
National Geographic, April '83, Front Ad Section-- RCA SGT250 player<br />
These are all the <strong>CED</strong> ads that ever appeared in National Geographic, which was<br />
easy to check with all advertising being either in the front or in the back of<br />
the magazine.<br />

Subject: The Future of <strong>CED</strong>'s<br />
As it has been over a decade since the first '<strong>CED</strong>' player first rolled<br />
off the assembly line and many have been intreagued and mystiqued by it. As<br />
well since RCA Corporation is no longer an entity being bought out by General<br />
Electric and then subsidized to Thompson Consumer Electronics the world of<br />
the '<strong>CED</strong>' has slowly decreased in size to near extinction. Many at Thompson<br />
Consumer Electronics (TCE) have never heard of the '<strong>CED</strong>' concept perhaps due<br />
to the time that has passed since the systems were in manufacture.<br />
Since the employees or perhaps even the employers at TCE have never<br />
heard of the '<strong>CED</strong>' concept or do not want to remember, it might be possible<br />
to join together with fellow '<strong>CED</strong>' enthusiasts to purchase the rights to the
