I am going to be needing a backlight(LCD light) for my MPC 60 soon and I am wondering if there any places in the U.S. that carries them in stock.I have heard about a Backlight company in the U.K. but I have never ordered anything from over seas and I have never dealt with this company before so I am kind of iffy.If some people have done business with them before than great I might consider it.

I've dealt with them, but it was OK, the plastic wasn't trimmed right and when I trimmed it it opened a side on it.

I would go with www.midi-rakete.de, he's in germany, and has various colors for you. if it's a mkI go with the white backlight, or whatever.

Tell Wolfgang I sent you.

I amsure there must be some in the US, but I've gotten a few from Wolfgang, and its always been quality. even one for my emax. He never did one of those before, I gave him the measurments and it was a perfect fit the first time.

I might be selling backlights short, but I found wolfgang to be much better and very helpful. About week and a half delivery time, but I never asked for faster shipping.

Also look on Akai's website under repair shops...They should have them also if you can't wait for it to be shipped from overseas.....

Personally...I'd go with www.forat.com

get the light fixed and the whole machine checked at the same time....Best of the Best :wink:
