The case probably isn't closed correctly. When you closed the MPC up, one of the buttons may have been out of place and gotten caught.

The service manual for the MPC 1000 is in the link below. As the thread is old, the first few links may not be valid so you will need to find a good link.

There is a disassembly procedure in the manual that shows what screws to take out first. Just take the screws out as stated in the manual, make sure the internal parts are in the correct places, and then put the screws back in reverse order.

actually i have just experienced the same here.. i just got a new mpc (and it didnt wobble). Then i took it apart to replace some of the tact-switches, and when i put it all back together i got the wobble! what the hell? i am 100% sure that i put it back together correctly, didnt force or bend anything.. maybe i screwed the screws in too tight.. its just strange though. now i how to put something under the upper-left foot.. it stinks when you have to go play live and have to think of that too..
