Best laserdisc player?

If something goes wrong with it, you'll be stuck with a broken machine that can't be used. The laserdisc movies are subjected to laserdisc rot as well, when the movie(s) will no longer play. If you still want to invest in a 42 year old video technology you may do so but like I've said before, it will be a risk.

I don't agree. Many of the Pioneers are still built like tanks and the laser rot of LD's are exaggerated.

You can get LD's for practically nothing and many titles are still the best way to get them.

I think that tranferring content is the best, but with an Pioneer 703 LD I just bought it still kicks butt. I say read the use, see that it was tested, trusted feedback, and don't worry.

Buy to archive not to play like a bluray player.
