[vcf-midatlantic] OT: Anyone have an old laserdisc player?

[Ben Greenfield]

I have a few Pioneer Laserdiscs that are from the ‘80s I’m not at home to check the model.
They were used in interactive exhibits and have serial control if that helps date them.

I will check if they work when I get home.
