[NJARC] RCA SelectaVision!

[john ruccolo]

Hi Alex,

I *knew* I would get a rise out of you! I was very
impressed by the video quality -- when things weren't
skipping. It seemed to skip more as the movie
progressed (didn't watch the whole thing, of course)
so that lends credence to Darren's suggestion.

Now I have to try my "non-working" CED player --
that's been sitting in the basement for years -- to
see if the loading problem was user error, or it's
really defective. 

When in doubt -- RTFM! I'll visit the CED magic site.

Later,

John
