replacement pads (but not from VST)

hi everybody ! I have two broken pads on my 1K.
I tried ordering new ones from vst but they are asking 88 dollars for shipping (i live in belgium) wich is IMO way too much for something that small .
so the question is : is there another place where i can buy them ? ( in europe ?)

If you know anyone in the states, it should be much cheaper. I assume you arn't sending your mpc??? It cost me $12 to send a box that was about 12x12x6 to Poland. It was light though. $88 is rediculous.

ANTONYM TO THE RESCUE!!!

You can also PM Antonym, he can show you how to repair your pads

You should try to call THOMANN

It's the biggest retailer in europe and as far as I could decipher on their french site they also ship to belgium and freight-costs are 8 Euros. (Am I right?)

Just ask for those replacement pads.

Maybe they will have to ask Akai Germany for the price first - but they definately should be able to get them for you.

Good luck.
