That's absolutely the nicest MPC colour I've seen - Being a bit of a traditionalist I think MPC's should be Beige by law - until now. This shade of fresh bluey-yellow is just finesse.

Love to see what a 2500 version would look like.

Hello guys and gals. I'm new here so feel free to cybersmack me if I have done anything wrong on this first post
First off,thanks to all who contribute to this site! I just discovered this about a week ago and have already learned a bunch. So I got my MPC 1000 back recently from a buddy I lent it to for some years. Feels damn good to have my baby back! I installed the pad upgrade kit with some flourescent pads,cleaned it with some deoxit and dust off. Put new feet on her,used a hand held screwdriver so i wouldn't risk hurting the circuit board and stripping the screws..... Although this was my first time ever doing this,I had a blast and learned alot in the process. I'll continue to post pics on here as I make more modifications. I've got wood panels on the way which will be sanded and restained. Also,I got a volume knob from an old receiver I plan to put in place of the jog wheel. I got lots of ideas so this modification should be fun as long as I don't fry myself in the process These pads by the way are clean looking in the daylight and inspirational at night(there's a blacklight in the room so it really brings out the glow. It might look tacky from a pic but in person it looks pretty sharp. Anyway's,keep pics coming and thanks to all on this forum for sharing so much knowledge.
Peace

the power cable and RCA mods are sweet. nice and functional -i'm always tripping up over those stoopid cables when i'm transporting my decks.

is the ground wire still attached? i've managed to pull a few of them off in my time!

This Technics is selfgrounded. We almost selfground every turntable brought to us. So functional !!

This MKII is used for Hifi not by a DJ. For the DJs mod, we put these cinch and shuko under the deck, so you can still put your mixer as usual ...

I may start a topic about this stuff, should I ? :roll:

Yes you should, do you have any plans to make jog dials for the 1000 or 2500???

Bullit aluminum maybe?

Sadly enough I have seen MKIIs that were so dirty they look like that without any mods.
:( :lol:
