Subject: Another <strong>CED</strong> player for sale....<br />
I recently picked up a SFT-100 (I think that's the model number) from a<br />
local flea market. It's the player with the lever that you pull down to insert<br />
the disk. It works fine and I would like to sell it for $50.00... This price<br />
inludes the shipping and handling. If you are interested, please contact<br />
me.<br />
Thank's<br />
Dave.<br />
Also, <strong>CED</strong>'s For Trade......<br />
-Ordinary People- 2 disks<br />
-GANDHI- Disk 2<br />
Let me know if you would like to trade for either of these.<br />

You may not know this, but a great many of the <strong>CED</strong> disk assemblies were<br />
injection molded right here in western PA by Precise Plastics. They did<br />
a lot of the original development work on the molds. As was mentioned<br />
in the last <strong>CED</strong> e-mail, surely the format would have continued to evolve<br />
and many of the shortcomings would have gone away. The last <strong>CED</strong> players<br />
were evidence that the art was improving. My SJT-400 has much less<br />
problem with skipping than the older players, as well as some really fun<br />
features like freeze frame.<br />
The thought of a clear caddy was not likely, though. The plant manager<br />
where I work was with Precise when they were making those caddies and he<br />
tells me that they were made of crystal styrene. Crystal styrene is<br />
clear but somewhat brittle so an additive was used to make it impact<br />
resistant. That additive also makes the resin opaque. Try dropping a<br />
hammer on one of those clear audio cassette shells then the same on a<br />
<strong>CED</strong> caddy and you'll see why they did it.<br />
If you have a white caddy (Precise didn't make the colored ones) that no<br />
longer is usable, cut the two halves apart. (They are sonic welded, so<br />
taking them apart will ruin them.) Look for the little round circles<br />
that are the mark from ejector pins used to push the part out of the<br />
mold. If there is a "P" on one of them, it came from Precise.<br />
Because most if not all of this kind of equipment came from vendors
