MD280

“These AKAI’s are part of an auction that was purchased a couple of years ago (I wanted a Sansui Tuner, Equalizer, Amp, & line mixer.

Have played Guitar & Keyboards thru the S612 but have had no luck with the disc drive. I might be doing something wrong or it just needs serviced (can’t get a disc to load) it just keeps recycling). Selling for parts or restore.

Units come with 30 discs / Studio One CD / and an Akai S612 user manual. Will ship in 2 (1of & 2 of 2) 1” Styrofoam lined shipping boxes with plenty of cushion. Please check our feedback! Our shipping is super fast, well packed & 2nd to none.”

“We have run our Synth / Guitars thru the S612 and everything works has it should, both thru midi and 1/4” jack plugs. The MD280 is not loading discs. When keyed to load from the S612, it cycles but won’t load (pic 4). Definitely worth servicing. For this reason, we are selling for parts or repair.

The S612 has the printed owners manual, and the MD280 has 30 discs, 10 Roland / 10 Maxell / 10 Sharp. Both will be shipped in a 1”styrofoam shipping box with plenty of cushion. Our shipping is second to none. Thanx for looking and have a great day” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“AKAI MD280 Sample Disk Drive & AKAI S612 MIDI Digital Sampler.

Classic Sampler Instruments from my personal collection

***The S216 does turn on when plugged in and the Disk Drive did work the last time I was able to check it but that was all the way back in 2012***

These items have not been used in about a decade. I am mostly selling for parts but there is still a good chance that all this works without any repair.

This will be a HEAVY box when it is packaged and shipped. ”

“Rare Vintage 2X AKAI S612 Sampler and 1X MD280 Disk Drive VTG Music Gear AS-IS!.

S612 buttons appear to be responsive and it powers up but I have no way of testing.

The MD280 doesn’t appear to do anything but I don’t really know how to use it .

When I hit load button both show what I’m assuming to be E for error but maybe the led is out on bottom part of E

These have been boxed up in a garage for about 20 years.

There was a tag on one of the displays with adhesive. I used rubbing alcohol to take it off but there’s still some adhesive on the screen.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
