MPC3000LE on ebay again...low price

tbh i think thats no wonder : ) to me a mpc 3000 looks like a big bad artifact from the death star from a 70s Star Wars Movie

while the LE looks to me like the "i am a Barby girl in a Barby world" Version

sorry no pun int.

As far as the LE with no badge...Looks like a unit Akai frankensteined for someone after the last LEs were gone, or a proto. The first time it was up, the seller noted that he received it directly from Akai a few years ago. No badge, and the side rests were white and covered in black paint. Normally the sides are black plastic all the way through the paint (matte black rubberized coating).

I guess the other possibility is that the unit was custom painted by somebody, like Forat. That would also explain the badgelessness and white sides.

serial#??
