Hey guys!
So i just bought my 1st mpc, a 2000. Had my buddy pick it up since seller lived in another city. I picked it up from my homie a couple of months later, and trying it out i found out that the down cursor was pretty unresponsive. I thought what the heck i can still use it for now. And the tact switches is pretty cheap and easy to get, and i'd really like to learn to fix my own gear, since i've spent to much money getting half ass repairs in the past. But now the main volume has started to cut out in one side both headphones and l/r outs. I have tried to open it up and spray the main volume pot with contact cleaner, with no result. Same thing with the bad tact switch. i have seen that you can get the pots for volume and rec on mpcstuff and vstservice but they are out of stock both places, and i will probably have to pay quite some money getting it shipped and there will most likely be toll on it to since i live in denmark. Altso. I'm not sure it's the pot itself or if it could be a bad connection with the wires or what not? i don't really know if i should try to make the repairs myself, or i should see if i could get a shop to do it? they will probably need the parts too i guess. Really love how this machine works and sounds, but i don't wan't to spend too much on reapairs or parts. I will be super gratefull for any help!
