M1JWR Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 Its done on a lot of forums where there is a section about items on ebay and comments are made, for example there is a 440 on there just now for 49 quid with c13 and it aint worth that, might strike up a bit more interest, yea or nae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearBoy Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 There’s a couple of MDS-JB980s on there for £1999.99 plus P&P at the moment 😮 Got to admire their optimism 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1JWR Posted September 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 and the the previously said about one with the guy selling drives for 980's for a ton a pop, as we all know he wont be scrapping 980's to do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearBoy Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Yeah, suspect he'll be building a pile of 480 shells... On which note, the days of being able to pick up a 480 for less than £50 seem to be over. Most of the BINs are over £100 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1JWR Posted September 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 and 470's also not far behind, the only cheap ones now are dare i say it the old not much cop ones, kevin has been quiet, wonder if he has been to the bank to take a mortgage out on that 555es, and use all of his other kit as collateral, you could buy a half decent car for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did that get past the radar? Might have had a punt on that! I've had a search logged on the 940 for a while now, but not seen anything come up at a half sensible price. I keep getting 930s and 980s. (930 looks a lovely deck but I'd want MDLP. 980 is probably lovely in truth, but I got put off that one when I saw how cheaply constructed the insides were. Probably just me being snobby...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgallen Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 See I'm too noisy. That's 3 in a row. Guess I should have done one of those fancy multi-quote things. Sorry folks 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearBoy Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Don’t be daft. Good to hear the 909’s already been put to good use. Not sure how I missed that 980 either, although I’m generally a bit nervous about going after faulty decks even if they sound like a probable easy fix. Would have taken a punt for £30 though.

M1JWR Posted September 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 909 is a good quality portable. brushed aliminium and all that, got mine when they were cheap about 15 years ago, came with all the bits and some discs and i dont think it was much more than 20 quid for the lot. as for 940's kevin a guy bought a remote for one on ebay recently for 50 quid, gives you an idea where they are at, but quality machine non the less. ive bought 440/470's for 30 quid spares or repair, mostly its just the belt, a 980 for that is a total steal and still cheap even if you bought one of those (4), i mean 980 drives that are popping up, as 980's can go for lots of cash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgallen Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 I think I got lucky with my MXD-D4 - I don’t think he put the model number in the title, said ‘MD and CD combo’ or something like that. Other listings for this model have silly prices. I think I’ve been lucky with all my Sony MD purchases, I haven’t paid over £100 for any of them (including the ‘pro’ ones). Did pay £120 for my Tascam MD-350 a few years back and a very silly price for my first Tascam MD-CD1 as I was desperate for a dub solution - it was the first time I’d ever seen such a machine (know better now of course, partly through this forum). I like the 3-line display on the 909 and the metal case is very nice. 🙂 I lie, my 770 was £107. Rest were max £80 I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rest were max £80 I think. the 980 was 100 quid years ago, the other jb's were 35 to 60 quid all bar one spares or repair, well it was but in the end nowt wrong with it, a 940 owes me 100 quid as thats the one that was first and i learned what not to do with that, and the other shall i say more basic models were 15 to 35 quid again spares or repair including a 520 and s50 that i broke for spares as both were knackered on the outside. and around 250 quid for the 930 that i bought new 20 odd years ago which was sold to buy the 980 in around 2009.
