Akai MPC 3000 with 32MB RAM, External Zip Drive

“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.
