It was the Lab 80 posted above that triggered my memory of this image.
Circa very early 1970's.

Yes. I figured that out some time ago and made note of it in post #3 this thread.
re: your post #14. I'm also aware of Oppo's service and support for this player as per discussion in above posts this thread.
I just decided that, after all was said and done, I was somewhat miffed at the...
To conclude this thread I can say that I found the most economical path forward to solve this problem with the non-functional BDP-83. I replaced it with something far less expensive....and....perhaps something that fills the purpose just as well. A factory refurbished Sony BDP S1700. All it...

Above link is a quicktime movie made with my dslr of the loader tray in action. There is no disc loaded so that we may view the transport as the laser hunts for disc content. But watch also for the turntable in...
Thanks for that reply. Yeah, they will know their product. I guess the company (Oppo) no longer will be producing blu-ray players but will maintain customer support for some time to come. I must say that it did present a very good picture. The brown stuff I noticed in the power board photos...
Let me begin by stating that I've had this player since late 2009 and it performed flawlessly up until sometime in 2017 when I noticed the "stuck loader tray drawer" situation. But I learned to deal with that simply by leaving the unit powered up. Or, after about one hour of being turned on...

For the TD124, this dustcover, called a 'Hood' is designed to work with original equipment plinths, and all others that hug the chassis profile closely. This dustcover also hugs the chassis profile closely. Acrylic plate...

---plugged in and switched on. --- That's a blue light for this player. Otherwise, if you switch it off, it cools down and the recalcitrant drawer issue happens all over again.

that loader tray
At one point a couple of years ago, my BDP-83 sat for a month or so without playing any disks. Then, when I finally did choose to play a movie, the damn loader tray would not open when I pushed the 'open' button. I found that if I rapped lightly against the tray door while...

I'm a bit late to the party on this thread but hopefully not too late. Above is a photo of my Minus-k 150 BM-1 supporting a TD124 in heavy slate. The Minus-k does make a difference that can be heard. I wrote a review of this unit back in March 2013. Here's a link to that article...
Infinity Black Widow tonearm
A vintage blast from the past.
Just a couple of pics of my Infinity Black widow tonearm. First photo with ADC XLM-II. Second photo with Sonus Blue. both cartridges are an appropriate high compliance match to the extremely low mass of the Infinity arm...
I have the BDP-83. It is an early blu-ray player. I found it needed a couple of firm-ware / software upgrades before it would play 'all' the blu-ray disks I might toss at it. Now it seems to..but I haven't tried "The Adjustment Bureau". It does load up slowly on a blu-ray disk. Its...
What I'm using currently,
Turntable: SP10 mkII in what I call a 'mule' plinth that follows the ideals of a light-rigid approach, I hope.
Tonearm: an old Graham 2.2
Cartridge: Shelter 501-II. Lately I'm using a modified Denon Dl-103R with Uwe body and SS ruby/Fl cantilever/stylus...
Hi neighbor yerself. Nice to hear from you.
The Hagerman Trumpet I received in February this year. I'm very happy with it. It suits me perfectly....and it fits my turntable stand (grin).
re: listening list
In recent years I've put more focus on classical recordings. Most are from the...
Hi Sean.
With the textured black enamel it doesn't show that the Mule plinth is constructed from baltic birch multi-ply. 1/2 inch layers. It wasn't so much difficult as just plain detailed and tedious to build. It took some time from beginning to finish.
I've only used the original mat on...
sp10 mk2 in Mule plinth
My current TT of interest is the SP10 mkII in the photos below.
It took me a while to come up with a plinth design for this motor unit that would not make a 9 inch tonearm, if mounted to it, look like a mismatch. I think that part is successful. Originally I...
