Everything else seems to be working (it even had the original akai boot disk in the drive, starts up, the metronome allowed me to test the L/R out), and has the eight out expansion board. Not sure about the ram until I fix the screen.
The problems seem to be that the disk drive is noisy when booting up (is this normal?), the screen needs replaced, and some of the PLAY/REC buttons seem to have broken off (sensor udnerneath is fine and works, I have the buttons, the two plastic hinged holding it to the part that connects to the machine snapped off, is this fixable or do I need to just buy all new buttons?) I think I figured out that this is normal and you just place them there when closing the case?
Not bad for free.
I guess people don't know the value of MPC-2000 Classics! These stories are becoming more common! Mine was pretty much in mint condition, except for a small scratch on the side, and the fader knob missing!
