RF Demodulators offers:

YAMAHA APD-1, new in box, $270
Nearly sold out; a few used units available at $180.

YAMAHA APD-2, used, perfect shape, complete with box, $240
Only one used unit available. Same as the APD-1, but color is gold. E-mail for pictures. If you need a gold demodulator to match your hi-end Japanese LD deck, this is the one to get. Very few were built ! Nearly impossible to find. Same shipping as for an APD-1.

PIONEER RFD-1, new in box, $500
Several new units left; used units rarely available.

All RF demodulators listed above are Japanese domestic models running on 100V and require a transformer for operation outside Japan. Consumption is less than 10W. This small transformer costs $25, is rated 110W for Americas, 30W for Europe/Australasia, please specify which you need. Read more about RF demodulators from ThadLabs.

Also available, YAMAHA APD-1 WORLD MODEL, new in box, with multilingual manual, $300: will work with any voltage and therefore does not require a transformer.

Express is tracked and insured, signature on delivery, perfectly safe. Airmail is cheaper but not tracked, not insured, and though i never had a parcel lost or stolen, there's a bit of risk.

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.
