“Akai S1100 Vintage (Partially Tested).
It turns on and reacts to most of the buttons and knobs. However I don’t have the means to test properly due to timing and equipment.
Missing some knobs and the seal on some of the jack input/outputs on the back.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“I am considering selling my Akai S1100 sampler. It has 5 MWords memory and runs OS4.30 as shown in the photo.
I bought this many years ago and used it a few times. However, it has not been used now for a number of years. Although I am tempted to keep it as I remember it being an excellent sampler and it also seems to be increasing in value, it seems a shame to have it sitting unused if someone can make use of it.
When it was last used, it was working fine. However, I am unable to test this sampler properly now as I no longer have any discs to use with it. I have an external Syquest 44MB drive with one cartridge which I can include in the sale as shown in the photo. Unfortunately I cannot find a SCSI cable to connect the drive so this is untested also – it worked the last time it was used but, like the sampler, it was several years ago. ”

I tried to format a floppy disc and the drive did format it but then it said the disc format was incorrect so not sure about this. I think it would be best to assume that the floppy drive is not working correctly.
I tried sampling a sound and this all seemed fine but could not save the sample due to the issues mentioned above.
The screen still looks fine and the sampler is in decent condition with some marks as shown in the photos.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“I purchased this a while back in a lot of rack gear with the intentions of fixing it back up.
I believe it has a problem with the power board. When connected to power and powered on there are no lights on the front panel at all. But if you have headphones connected you can hear a little bit of scratchiness with the volume pot when turned. Also when powered up there is a red light on inside the machine on the PSU board.
I have changed nothing since purchasing. Quite possibly it could just need a recap.
Unsure if the backlight is functional but there is a good case that it isnt.
Also there is a crude modification to what looks like an old harddrive. Please see the photos for more info.
It also has a little sticky residue on the front and a little ding on the top. Everything else looks in tip top shape and nothing looks to have been removed from the unit.
I would love to fix this and keep, but i recently lost my job so I’m clearing out a lot of my old projects. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay
“Classic workhorse studio sampler in excellent clean, used condition. Just been refurbished and upgraded with a brand new high contrast LED display and an internal SCSI2SD drive, mounted on the rear panel for easy access to SD card and USB. The original floppy drive has been retained and I am also including a huge vintage library of floppy disks (around 200 in two boxes). These are a mix of original Akai factory sounds and custom samples. I’ve transferred a few of the floppies to the SD drive just to test everything and it is all working well (some of the floppies are a bit dodgy due to age, but most of the programs/samples load no problem). The included SD card is a 16GB Sandisk set up as 4 virtual SCSI drives (ID 2,3,4 and 5) formatted to the maximum capacity the S1100 can handle.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
