Coming your way freight collect!! :eek:

I hate to get rid of it, it's a nice piece. And I do know there are some here who enjoy the ancient art of opera. The question is, do any of them have a laserdisc player?

I have several LD players and love Opera, even the ones I have on LD (not this one). Yes, there are such weirdos out here. But I would have had to send cash via snail-mail (until I get my lost PayPal password sorted out! sigh...), which means I lost out on this one. Glad to know there are others out here who also still do (and will) enjoy these things. :yes::thmbsp:

I have 3 Laserdisc players and they all work/play just fine :)
I watch a few LD movies every once in awhile.
