I just aquired a NOS Laserdisc player from 1983. The player was brand
new in the box with all its original packing.
Suprise.. suprise, it didn't work. So much for the coveted "NOS"
The slider jumped a tooth so re-setting that wasn't too much trouble.
When I got the unit to play, It did not track nearly as well as a used
unit of the same model I have with 8,000+ hours on it.
For some reason people got into there heads that NOS means the unit
will be absolutly perfect....This is not true.

Yes, it's had 24 years for the greases and flexible bits to harden in one
position..
