Akai MPC 2500 with 128MB RAM

Needs a little bit of repair. Bidding starts at 1 cent.
“What you see here is one of the INDUSTRY STANDARD Drum Machine/Samplers, with NO RESERVE! RAM is MAXED out at 128MB. Has the latest Akai OS installed. You can install the famous jjOS’s that ADDS TONS of FEATURES. It is in GREAT condition (very few light scratches as shown in pics). When you have a piece of equipment like this, you take CARE of it! which is what I myself DID. However my buddy who previously owned it (original owner), Thought he was a DJ and loaded all types of scratch samples and whatnot, and used the Q1 slider a bit MUCH and apparently with a bit too much pressure. Basically what I am saying is, the Q1 slider has a “loss of signal point”. to break it down FURTHER so you KNOW EXACTLY what to expect and what you will be receiving, the Q1 slider WORKS 100% with the exception of it jumping to the middle of the slider when slid all the way down and THEN ADDING ADDITIONAL pressure. So it goes up and down smoothly, but the top half of the slider appears to be LOOSER? (from the Q link slider PCB Board), allowing the signal to act as if you didn’t slide it down but left it in the middle, WHEN APPLYING ADDITIONAL pressure (goes all the way down but then JUMPS to middle). Q2 and EVERY other button, knob, jog wheel, screen (no scratches), inputs, outputs, midi all work flawlessly as they should. I used the Q1 slider all the time with no problems at all. Once you’re aware of it, its easy to compensate, and keep it sounding nice. You SHOULDN’T add too much pressure on PRO AUDIO equipment anyway. The very TIP of the ejection trigger is also snapped off, almost FLUSH with the MPC’s body so you may have to use something to eject a Flash Card if you don’t have nails. I didn’t find this a problem either. BOTH of these CAN be REPLACED by YOU with some care and $50 dollars. Q Link Slider PCB Board is $40 and the Ejection Trigger is $10 from mpcstuffDOTcom. Comes with power cord and a Flash Card (64MB by Lexar Media). I can throw some drum kits on it if you wish. ” Link
