Question
First I want to apologize if I am waisting your time, I'm not sure what it is I have and I'm not sure how to find out, It's a big album looking thing that is suppose to be a movie of some type, it says (capacitance electronic disc system) and it's my fair lady. My sister in-law found it in her house when she moved in and was going to throw it away so I told her I would take it, I was just wondering if it was junk or if it would be worth any kind of money.
Thank you for your time,
Sincerely,
Lori  

Answer
Hello Lori,

First off, let me tell you that I know (or knew) absolutely nothing about CED. But, thanks to your question, I now know a lot more than I did.

CED was a consumer video format on grooved vinyl discs that was marketed by RCA in the 1980's. Of course, you also needed a CED player to be able to watch these films on your television set. The system is now defunct. You can find out all about it at the following website:

I have found "My Fair Lady" listed at $4.  So, it would appear not to have much value these days.

Glad to be of help. Cheers.........Mel.
