'Laser Disks' at Jubilee Films in Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester (a lost shop)

Does anyone remember Jubilee Films in Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester?

I took this photo of the shopfront back in 2020 and found it interesting that they opted to write 'LASER DISKS' rather than 'LASERDISCS'.

It looks like it was a good little independent video shop.

Street Trash ( German Dragon Release)

Limited to 500 copies in NTSC format. It's a gatefold but I couldn't upload that picture, I'll try to post in comments later. Awesome flick and like this version over the Japanese one.

Are enthusiasts still continuing to refurbish old units as time goes on?

Hi there,

Enthusiast here who’s always wanted a player but could never afford one. When I last wanted one 15 years ago, they were $300. Now they’re $1,000. I’m not complaining about price, but I am worried about and uninformed if there are folks dutifully refurbishing machines and reselling them. I am concerned if I wait too long, they will go completely extinct without a market of enthusiasts dedicated to refurbishing them.

Still love the pod racing scene and this transfer is so so good! It's nice to have a version with the original effects as well, puppet Yoda will always be superior!

Big collection I want to sell

Hi folks. I bought a collection from a guy that I would like to start selling. So I'm asking for advice on the best place to learn how to do that. The collection consisted of 172 laser disks and two players. I will probably hold on to the players for now. But I would like to start selling individual discs.

Any suggestions besides eBay cause that's obvious.

Thanks!

Here's a link to the list. https://sharetext.io/5mya7i6j

Picked this up from Ebay!

I’m in the process of upgrading my home theater and one of my goals is to be able to get AC-3 audio from my laserdisc player. So I thought this would come in handy. Plus I just wanted it for the novelty! 😁

Thrift find

I've wanted a laserdisc player for years at this point. Finally found one at a thrift shop for $50. Screen on it doesn't work but it plays with no issues. Can't wait for karaoke night.

Tonight's Viewing: Jumpin' Jack Flash (1986)

JUMPIN' JACK FLASH (1986) LASERDISC SCREEN CAPTURE

This is one of the rare films I own on every format available. I had the VHS since I was a kid. I got the DVD in the early 00's. I paid way too much for the Blu Ray but it was a must have (also had to have American Dreamer with JoBeth Williams--wish that one got a LD release). I purchased the LD on Facebook Marketplace someone had a Whoopi haul with about 10 of her good films. Had to cop it.

Just a feel good and light hearted film that I enjoy entirely too much. I cozy up on the couch and watch this one often. Absolutely nothing has changed.

So much for the seashells....

I think this one aged very well, more relevant today than in 1993

Howard the Duck!

My biggest guilty pleasure. Wish we had a proper non pan & scan release on Laserdisc however.

My crown jewel (back cover NSFW)

Shipper knew I was getting this one for the cover and wrapped it sealed separately from the LD disc!

Troubleshooting help with a Pioneer player

Hey all,

Looking for some leads on this. Bought this player on eBay and worried it got damaged in transit, tried 4 different discs and all skip really bad. Cleaned the laser off with some alcohol and the disc seems to spin up well. Any ideas?
