No real reason to be honest other than I read somewhere that it is basically a 925 with a DVD player stuck on it. What other European players would you recommend that meet my specs list? Open to all ideas.

Working should be the only option on your spec list, I would look into getting as many working players as you can if you plan on this for the long haul. Get some Pal and NTSC players not just combi players. Good luck.

That’s going to narrow the field down to one or two decent players that you probably already know about and you’ll have to take whichever one is available when you’re looking. It does. I don't have the room to store multiple players. PAL/NTSC offers the best convenience for me. I'd go for another 925 but the prices people want these days are stupid for it. For the money they want now I could get something better (I think?). On the flip side, hopefully I can fix the issue with my 925 so I don't have to buy a new player.

What other European players would you recommend that meet my specs list? Open to all ideas. I am no expert here but pretty sure it is not a 925 with a DVD player stuck on it. One of the few places that will still take on laserdisc player repairs here in Glasgow commented on the 925 that I took in for repair a few years ago which they managed to do & the guy did know about the various UK players. He did state that the 925 was the best of all the UK models & when I mentioned the 919E that I had at the time he really did not rate it, he thought it was a nice looking machine but that was all then running through why he would have the 925 over the LD DVD combo players. He compared the picture quality to be very similar to the 515 & I would agree on that one, quite a soft image. I do love my 925 & don't think I will find anything better at a price I can afford here in the UK unless I win the lottery but as I don't buy a ticket that is not going to happen. Your 925 packed in after spinning a warped disc? How bad was the warp as any slightly warped discs that have been spun in my 925 were a little louder when playing but no other issues thankfully. Can the player not be fixed? Hope you find a good player at the right price for you. Good luck with the hunt .

This is where I got the 909 and 925 comparison from. http://www.laserdiscarchive.co.uk/DVL-909.htmI agree with you. I love my 925 and didn't want to go looking for something else. But in the UK/EU the prices for them have gotten really stupid and I won't pay the money being asked for one. 700 quid I've seen in some places. The warped disc I played you really wouldn't have noticed it was warped immediately and without a proper inspection. It was a disc I bought a few weeks back. Didn't check it, put in the disc and got a horrific clattering sound. Couldn't stop it and had to dive in and rip the plug out the back to stop it. After that I got the clicking and the E0 error. Hoping to get a result int he repairs forum here. Fingers crossed. A potentially expensive mistake. I love my LD's, some of the rarer ones in my collection took me ages to find. I have a full set of Darius discs from Japan (the video game not the singer!) that took me over 2 years to find all of them one at a time. I'm not throwing in the hobby any time soon!
