“Cosmetically, there are some scratches and wear on the paintwork of machine, particularly along the top/back edge. The Akai logo has been partially scratched off by the previous owner. There are company’s that do custom skins that can freshen up the look of MPCs.
As with most items of gear from this era, the backlight on the screen is no longer working. However, the display contrast is fine and is perfectly legible in decent lighting.” Click here to search for MPCs on eBay

Akai MPC 3000LE Limited Edition # 1264 with Internal Zip Drive

by

” This is number 1264 of the legendary Akai MPC3000LE (limited-edition), one of the greatest (if not THE greatest) sampling drum machines of all time. I originally bought it when I was working for a hip-hop production studio in Los Angeles, where it was used on some great productions, and always treated with care and reverence.
This machine also has a ZIP drive (and comes with a small selection of great ZIP discs). It runs on U.S. voltage, so if you intend to use it in the U.K./Europe you will need a transformer. Since its importation from the U.S. four years ago, it has been used in a clean, smoke-free recording studio in East Anglia. This is a very reluctant sale, but in recent years I find that I have not been using this MPC as much as it deserves, and would prefer it to be used more frequently by somebody who appreciates its legacy and will enjoy the unique sonic aesthetic that it can bring to music production of all genres. This machine, like others including the SP-12 and the Roland TR-808, is becoming more and more sought-after and valuable as the years go by, and as a limited edition is even more collectable.
Comes with a hard case for transportation, and original manual.” Click here to search for MPCs on eBay

“For sale is an affordable used MPC 3000. This MPC was left for years unused in a basement by my brother. It has a few scratches as shown in the picture. I had it cleaned and all tact switches replaced. It has a little static in the volume knob (easy fix). Other than that it sounds great and I’d hate to sell but it needs a little more attention than I have for it and it’s just taking up space. I don’t know much about the MPC 3000 so I’m selling it AS-IS absolutely no returns.” Click here to search for MPCs on eBay

Akai MPC 3000 with 32MB RAM, External Zip Drive

by

“Up for sale is my MPC-3000 being sold for no other reason than I just don’t use it and the sight of it reminds me that I don’t use it. It has 32 MB of RAM onboard (the max as far I can tell), an accompanying ZIP 250 SCSI drive, and the original manual (bound by the previous owner with a poster of Bruce Lee for inspiration). It’s in quite good physical shape considering its age and average functional shape. All the buttons work, the drive mounts effortlessly, the inputs and outputs are clean. It has a brand new NOS inverter for the display and a low hours ELD backplate. That being said, the display is not very bright — almost unnoticeably brighter with the backlight on or off. This hasn’t been a problem for me as I don’t work in complete darkness and the display is very clear with most any level of ambient light. I think a solid cleaning of the switches would help triggering sensitivities and responsiveness of the commands and data entry buttons. Software version is 3.11. Comes ready to roll. Feel free to ask any questions. No returns, but guaranteed not DOA. Low starting price. Buyer pays actual shipping costs. It’s 25 pounds and 18″ x 16″ x 6″ before packing. Free shipping with Buy It Now.” Click here to search for MPCs on eBay
