Akai MPC 500 Project Machine

“In decent condition. One small crack in the screen at the top (doesn’t affect use). Buttons and pads working fine – some of the buttons which had worn out (eg. cursor buttons) have been replaced with new ones, and has had a new data wheel fitted, as well as some foam pads under the wheel to prevent it bending/breaking (common with these machines!)

However does have an issue, therefore is listed as for spares or repair. The main volume knob doesn’t function – it’s permanently stuck on full (however, master volume can be set internally on the OS, in 6dB increments, so an easy workaround). The record gain pot also is crackly/intermittent and has to be kind of held down to properly work. It’s probably an easy fix with a soldering iron but I’m not savvy enough with electronics to attempt this.

Comes with original box, USB cable, manual. (power lead not included)” Click here to search for MPCs on eBay
