I've got $350 via paypal and a blank replacement panel to anyone with a mpc 3000 vga card. I'm tired of looking and I'd rather just overpay! If you have one, or have a 3000 you are gonna part with soon that has one, PM me, I'm ready to go! Thanks guys......

I appreciate the help but my dad lives near Ramona, CA. Every time I visit him I stop into Sound Logic, which is actually just a house. I've been 3 times!!!! The VGA cards are gone and aren't coming back, cimplespares doesn't have any either. I looked pretty thoroughly and now I'm resorting to begging my fellow members. If someone has a lead on one that isn't just one of the normal spots, I'd be more thn happy to give it a try.

I also gotta say that Sound Logic is terrific and their customer service is amazing. As you can imagine, it's not a very lucrative business, but it is a very important one for people like us trying to keep our old machines alive. Support them if you have any reason to!!

Thanks again for your help everyone!

imo, it's not really worth it. $60? maybe. $350? nah.

i understand that you are on a quest, but as soon as you find one, you will be on another quest to find a monitor that actually works with it. then, after a couple weeks of using it, you're gonna be like "damn, this is kind of weak" and you will most likely unplug it & return to the LED.

ARMEN'S MUSIC claims to have some of these in stock and was quoting $275.00 USD ??? ( read it in one of his eBay auction responses )

...so, ah ... good luck I guess ?

You know what's up Rohan......as usual! Sorry to be so outta touch again, how's the os coming? I can't wait man!

I got mine from him about 2 weeks ago! I've looked long and hard and the money matters nothing compared to the music!! I worked at a studio that had the monitor setup, it was dynamite, I love my 3000 and do all my work on it. I live 1 block away from a used computer store with a wall of monochrome monitors, and actually newer (not the newest) apple monitors work great. Now I just gotta install it......

Thanks for your help guys!

As you Leland are one of the ROM 3.16 users then you'll be part of a list of folk that get forward notification of anything new to come.

So watch out soon :-)
