2000 question

Whats up peoples,

I just bought a classic from my friend which was jus sitting in his room gathering mad moisture, grit and dust. The deal was, hes selling it to me for $500 but I have to get it fixed, then i'll just show him the receipt on how much i spent on repairs then he'll jus subtract that from the original price he was selling it to me. If it's impossible to fix it then I wont buy it.
He told me the disk and other basic buttons aren't working.
I tried it, loaded the 1.72 OS, it booted loaded a disk (it's mad stuck up, so i needed to press really hard for it to load)
I loaded some sounds, it seems that the sound is has mad static and is quite weak, i needed to boost the volume to the fullest just to hear a bit of the sond, it was struggling.
Everything was working fine, (but I still have to scrutinize the poor machine to check what else I should look out for)
I'm heading to my other friend who is a n electrician, i'm sure he can sort this problem out.
Actually my question is kinda stupid (i peeped the manual and did a search on it), but i'll ask it anyway.
Is there a track mute section on the 2000 simillar to the xl? I'm an Xl user, and I want to explore the classic.
Thanks:)

try some can air on the inside. post some inside pics if you can.

Maybe its just the way *I* think, but this machine already has too many problems for you to even bother.

Peace,

just highlight the track on/off field and press open window

nah...I got mine in bad condition from 'armen's'.The machine I bought wasn't the one pictured on his ebay(false advertising..),but I'll never get rid of it though.Glad your sale went good though,sound like a good idea.

Thanks for the advice guys, I 'll tell 'em i could only pay up to $200 for it. no doubt.
I know it'll be fixed.

Thanks again! I'll keep ya'll updated.
