40 quid - ouch! Also, seems it 'must be charged with a Micro-USB cable', so it may not do so inside the MD unit.
The Trustfire/LIB-902 3DP shell combination does charge inside a JVC XM-R70.
And someone wants £99 for a dud battery

The battery is now available as well, it seems

Wow, it must be a monster @fourbanks 😲
Yes it certainly is. if you have the room for one and a nice one comes along then i would go for it. it's the same weight as the 930/940 roughly with the same output connections

Nice looking machine. In which dimension is it 2 inches bigger than normal hi-fi?
in the width. i suspect that's the reason when i purchased the f91 tuner it came without the wooden side panels as that would have added 2 inches to the width as well

Nice set up @fourbanks 🙂
thanks. that little jongo a2 in the middle on top of the cd recorder is both Bluetooth and wifi. the bluetooth is so so as the codac is 7 years old but the Wi-Fi is excellent so recording from the tv bbc sounds app via the jongo's digital output is just the same as recording from the tuner

Is that the one you posted about over on Tapeheads, @fourbanks? It does seem to have a fairly weird ratio of recording to playback time.
that's the one. as you say most odd but with all the hassle I've had with the 940 that i mucked up I'm happy that it's working well. for how long thou you can never tell. i still have my original 920 that works well and always has done plus my Kenwood. now that's a very big recorder and wont go in my cabinet so doesn't get used much. the manufacturer didn't state the measurements of the unit correctly and is 2 inches oversized to the normal hi fi spec. I've never looked inside so cant tell if it's belt or gear driven?

my 930 i have just purchased is very good and in mint condition but has been very heavily used so unsure to how much life it's got left in it

the king, supposedly, ive had mine for a lot of years with no problem, this is just a general observation, the 980 internally is a 780 in drag.
as net md is not b all and end all these days, i may try and dethrone the king, we will leave the es models out of this equasion.
the 940 and 930 models, the build quality of those are night and day over the king, the 940 only really lacks net md and the 930 lacking mdlp over that.
the 930 is even better inside than the 940, so in my book the 930 is the best one, no belts to bother with either, so if sp is your bag you cant loose.
all hail the new king, interesting to see what you all think
i couldn't agree with you more. 😀 I've had 3 940's play up over the last 20 odd years including a new one albeit that was probably my fault and my other 920 / 930 not once apart from the display getting dim.

can anyone please remember what the technical difference was between those uk red badged models and the eu non badged models from the JB 920/930/940/980/ QS series
thanks
