Hey people...
I'm after a new case for my 60II as the one I have is a bit damaged on the corners and after a superb refurb from Jazzcat, that's all that's letting it down really. I'd also be interested in a case for a 60 too and maybe transplanting the 60II in to the case for a 60

If I come across anything mate I'll let you know, but don't hold your breath.

As Jazzcat and I found out the hard way after taking three MPC60's apart at my place, sometimes you can transplant the interior of one MPC60 into the shell of another and it simply will not work for some reason. Something about disturbing the integrity of old gear that doesn't always work out how you would hope. So be prepared for the unexpected when carrying out a transplant.

I ended up parting out the one that refused to operate and realised that the sum of the parts had a greater value than the complete machine, by some margin too. I'd never part out a machine unless there was no other option, it's a sad thing.

Yeah I thought it might be a long shot.
After having Jazzcat refurb the 60 I bought from you (floppy drive, backlight and service) and just wanna get the exterior up to scratch now and she's a good 'un.
Once I've moved house on wednesday I'll be pressing on with using it and I'll drop you some examples of what I do on there.
