Express postage by the Post Office is registered, tracked and insured, signature on delivery, perfectly safe.

If choosing double boxing (extra postage cost), the Pioneer RFD-1 box will stay factory sealed; otherwise i open it to put the transformer inside (it does fit). Double boxing keeps the demodulator packaging pristine but is not necessary since the RFD-1 box is very strong and safe. Yamaha however do not factory seal their boxes and they are soft, anyway the transformer would not fit in, so the APD-1 always ships double boxed.



LD Graphics Decoders offers:

The Pioneer LG-1 is the only standalone LDG decoder to exist. Note that the connection is by composite, not S. In stock, used, fully tested, $140 without remote, or $210 superb with remote, or $280 mintish and complete in original packaging.
