where can I...?

I need to replace the data buttons on my mpc2000xl. where can I get these? I tried googling it but no luck.

I usually check for replacements for equipment from the manufacturer of the equipment itself.

Did you try that?

yeah, but the akai USA site is down right now.

You know there is thing that has been around for some 120 years called the telephone. You use it to call up service and order parts. All of the maufacturers service centers use this tried and true method of communication.

When my stuff is broke the last thing I do is jump on a computer. I pick the phone and speak to a REAL PERSON.
