hey guys, i just got a used MPC 1000 and i noticed that when placed on a flat surface, one of the rubber feet dont completely touch the surface so it becomes wobbly. it seems like each foot is the same height...does anyone know what could be wrong here? i want to fix this problem without having to do something ghetto like stick paper underneath it or something...i mite have to sand some of the feet down. but does anyone have any other ideas?

arite guys, i got some sand paper and sanded down the feet of my mpc to make it level. now it sits perfectly level on any surface with no wobble! its a very easy fix. i used 100grit sandpaper and just rubbed it down with my hands. i also used some 60 grit to make the process faster, and some 150 grit to smooth it out a bit. try it out, its better tahn having to stick somethin underneath everytime u wana make a beat!

Just take the feet off go to a hardware store purchase adhesive rubber hardwood floor protectors.It worked for me.
Really contact akai?After all the turmoil of dead pads do you really think they will send you new feet (and a level).

i got a 4"x2"x2" PSU for my external cdrom under it, about 10% of the MP is on it. angles it nicely so you can see the screen with getting neck ache, doesn't wobble like that. certainly didn't when flat
