Akai MPC 1000 with 128MB RAM

“I got a super early bird SmplTrek and a Polyend Play on the way so sending this on its way. I picked up this MPC 1000 from someone off craigslist a couple months ago. It was mostly taken apart. So I put it together and took it a part a few times. The frame was a bit out of shape, so got that all sorted.
What I have done to it additionally

Fixed the main Jog wheel with the metal one, solder could use a touch up, my tip broke near the end.
It has the pad upgrade with fat pads from MPCStuff
replaced all the buttons with new from MPCStuff, in the pictures you will see the red OG ones as I liked them over having them white also.
Just installed the hard drive adapter from MPCStuff. I decided that the sd card route was the way to go, but have not purchased that part yet. They are only about $15 on amazon
found a matching front plate from an MPC group.
cleaned it up inside.
ram upgrade.

In one image you will see a side view of the F buttons. You will see that it has a slight bend to it. this makes the f1 and f6 sit lower than the others. I tried to get it back into shape but didn’t want to snap it and didn’t have a heat gun. Each time I took it apart and put it back together the screen would alternate between functioning as it should and having lines go down. I got it to stop for a couple of weeks. Then would start up again. Was going to replace it anyway so didn’t really care. Screen photos look off. In person the screen is clean and bright. The side panels are a little rough, didn’t care as they were going to be replaced. Its nearly complete and ready. Fully functioning. all it really needs is to mess with the screen and add the sd adaptor. you can unplug the screen and plug it back in and it will work fine. Just takes a few times. I screwed the bottom plate on and couldn’t be bothered to unscrew it and mess with it.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
