Selling as 'parts or not working' as the backlight has failed.

All the buttons and dials seem to be operating properly, and the floppy drive works when test formatting a disc but I haven't fully run it through its paces given the backlight. I believe a new backlight is £27 but a Gotek usb drive and LED Screen are what I would install if I were keeping it.

This is the cheapest way to get the 'sound' (not the jitter / timing) of the MPC3000 (Japan model S2800 / 3000 non XL) but you can hook it up to an older MPC 2000 or the like for a similar vibe.

Sold as parts / not working so no returns obviously but hopefully somebody can give it a service & new lease of life :)
