I recently copped my first MPC3000! (Swapped an XL for it) Just thought I could start a thread to ask all my questions







The old girl's in ok shape but has definitely got a few known issues.

Scsi fuse needs replacing.

Jog wheel is Jacked (kinda works but super loose, flops around).

Some tact switches on the way out.

Infamous whine from headphone jack.

So I ordered the Valixi OS from Rohan Yesterday. Ordering Scsi fuse and tact switches today.

I'm not sure about the Jog Wheel, couldn't find any answers in my search, will have a look when I install OS. If anyone has some knowledge please share?

Want to order scsi Card reader today but a bit dubious about having non hot swap as they seem to be only ones available.
Does anyone have a workaround for this? I'm guessing you can use an mpc editor? but I try to work in the box completely.

If anyone has a suggestion on a card reader from JD that they have had success with please let me know.

Anyway Just thought I'd share.

Peace

all i gotta say is make a video .. we need more you tube videos on users with 3000's ...but its a good looking machine .. never played it with valixi . but let us know how that is ....

They are a US company but ship international. I'm in the UK and it took about 3-4 days to arrive! Seriously quick

I think it cost about £22 for 50 switches including postage. Not bad considering mpc stuff want £5 a switch......

good looking out on the 3000 tact switches

Ditch the zip drive before it ditches you, and your samples.

Real talk...
