MPC 60 Question

i just bough this machine like a couple of days ag for 100$. i worked fine for like 2 days, now it doesnt power up at ALL. does anyone know whats wrong or where i can take it to get fixed? im in philly so if you know somewhere local, that'll be better

take alook at a place called vst or forat both are in california and are very good. do a search and you will find what you are looking for.

look at the fuses in the MPC may be a fuse has gone, worth a look.

yea, fuses might be the problem... same thing happend with my asr10... i just got new ones at radio shack and it worked ... make sure you get thr right ones tho... so they dont blow out again..

where are the fuses?? =X

no clue on the 60... probably right around where the power supply is

well im guessin its these three lil clear tubes , iono. imma take it to a shop and see, then imma get it upgraded at forat

yeah man, make sure you mark where each fuse goes, as they have different values and each slot needs the right value.

No need to send it all the way to forat, just get the chips and scsi and install it yourself unless you are really clumsy or you have the cash to burn.

I love it when people rescue 60's from people who don't know it's value. Anyone putting a price of $100 on it is just a few steps away from just junkin it.

You're a good samaritan!!

yea that sounds like a better idea, yea and was sure the guy didnt know anything about the 60, so thats why i bought it and left quick. but where could i get these fuses from? home depot radio shack im guessin

Radio Shack should have them.

for some reason, i cant find these damn fuses anwhere . any help???

should look something like this http://www.javajane.co.uk/objects/fuse.jpg

i mean i found the fuses, i just cant find them anywhere. i went to 3 radio shacks and home depot. none =\

You sure you got the values right? Also, all the fuses are probably not blown, do any of them have the filament visibly broken?

Walk into radio shack and ask them to test the fuses, they can do so with a multimeter with a continuity tester, but they might have a fuse tester of some sort. If any of them fail, you need that one as a replacement.

I know I got one replacement from radioshack when I blew a fuse, so they should have at least one alue of the bunch.

type the values you see on the fuses themselves on here and I'll tell you want to look for in RS.

they are all 125volts

1amp, 1amp, 3.15amps

they're all black inside the clear part so it has to be blown
