Hello,

I have a question for anybody out there who is familiar with the old
RCA CED video disk player and its internal adjustments.

The problem I am seeing is a jitter or shimmy in the picture that lasts
about 2 seconds and re-occurs about every 10 seconds. The color in the 
picture also drops out during this time. Does anybody know of an adjust-
ment inside that will correct this problem or is it just a worn out
stylus? I've already tried weighing down the stylus and tilting the
entire player in different angles with very little improvement.

Before I retire this electronic oddball to the attic, I would like to
transfer all of its movies onto tape. Any ideas for a temporary or
permanent fix would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

                                               Tom
