Akai MPC 5000 with 192MB RAM, DVD-ROM Drive

“This is a MPC 5000 in excellent condition with the 192 MB RAM expansion, HDD, and DVD drive installed. Also Includes original box, power cable, manuals, and 4 compact flash cards. One of them (the Akai branded one) has some drum kits and other samples loaded on it. And there are many samples and drum kits already loaded on the internal rom as well as the hard drive. The display screen has quite a few light scuffs and has a little piece of debris near the top of the screen, but you really don’t notice them when the unit is on. I have had this for a couple of years and hadn’t used it much since I got some of the newer units. I fired it up and everything works as it should, I tested most of the buttons and pads with no issues that I could find except that when I first turned it on after pulling it out of storage I noticed the screen would flicker 10ish times sporadically every 5 minutes or so. When it did flicker, it was so fast that the display was always still visible as the flicker pulsed. I came back to the unit later to test it 4 separate times and it no longer flickered and seemed normal. I tried to use it for at least an hour each time, to give it plenty of time to reproduce this issue, but it wasn’t flickering anymore. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay
