I have a LD-660.  Unfortunately, I bought it when they were $350 a copy.
Ah, well.

I've had good results with mine.  Picture quality is superb, sound
on CX encoded disks is excellent.  I have had problems with rental disks,
mainly with 'scratchy' sound and noise in the picture.  Most of these 
disks were pretty badly battered, though (i. e. warped from sitting on the
dashboard of the car in the hot sun, circumferential scratches from 
playing Guts Frisbee in the living room with them, etc. ad nauseum).

The LD-660 is a good base model.  It has no real special features that
can be used on the constant linear velocity disks, though.  If you find
freeze frame or slow/fast motion important, then this is not the unit for you.
Personally, I just like to watch the show, and enjoy High Fi Video/Audio.

Working is fine, but I wouldn't want to make a career out of it.
