So I scored an upgraded MPC 1000 off eBay at a good price. It's definitely seen better days, so I've decided to give it a full restoration and document the happenings here.
From the seller it comes with:
Pad sensor upgrade (a must)
Black pads with corx
RAM upgrade (not sure if he maxed it out or not)
SSD kit with CF adapter
Miscellaneous CF cards
JJOS free
Current issues:
'Wiring issue' (as the seller described it)
Damaged and loose side panels
Missing and damaged buttons
Here's the shitty eBay picture the seller provided:
Alright, next step is a hefty MPC Stuff order, including:
Right side PCB with all new tact switches and encoders
Black full set of replacement buttons
Wood side panels
Black record gain and volume knobs
Black jog wheel
Black memory card slot
All black and woodgrain is just my speed. Currently, everything is in transit. Expect a picture heavy thread, as I go through the restoration. Just waiting on the couriers now.
Questions:
How large a harddrive can the MPC 1000 accept? I may just go the internal CF route and pop in a 32GB or 64GB card.
What are the dimensions of the q-link slider cap shafts (width and recess depth)? I want to source some taller, black caps.
