So it&#8217;s been a while since I updated the progress of the 2kxl rehab, but it&#8217;s all done now.  Went from a standard 2kxl with audio problems to a Customized Akai MPC-2000xl with full memory, internal Zip, 8-outputs + Digital in/out, and of course, a great custom design.
Take a look at the transformation in the [...]

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So it&#8217;s been a while since I updated the progress of the 2kxl rehab, but it&#8217;s all done now.  Went from a standard 2kxl with audio problems to a Customized Akai MPC-2000xl with full memory, internal Zip, 8-outputs + Digital in/out, and of course, a great custom design.</p>
<p>Take a look at the transformation in the pics below:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.beatstatus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/img_1269.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-5" title="img_1269" src="http://www.beatstatus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/img_1269-1024x682.jpg" alt="img_1269" width="500" height="332" /></a></p>
<p>This was before. Falling apart, busted floppy drive, rundown pads.</p>
<p>Some of the problems I discovered after picking it up:</p>
<p>1. No Power &#8211; FIX: Simple Fuse</p>
<p>2. Bad Floppy Drive &#8211; FIX: Installed Internal ZIP</p>
<p>3. Audio In/Out not working &#8211; FIX: Installed 8-outs w/ Digital I/O</p>
<p>4. Beat Up Pads &#8211; FIX: New Black Pads</p>
<p>5. Ugly banged up case &#8211; FIX: Custom Skin</p>
<p>After all the simple fixes, this is what it looks like today:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-289" title="img_0113" src="http://www.beatstatus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/img_0113-1024x768.jpg" alt="img_0113" width="498" height="372" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-261" title="beatstatusoriginal1" src="http://www.beatstatus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/beatstatusoriginal1.jpg" alt="beatstatusoriginal1" width="500" height="403" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-273" title="beatstatusoriginal-8-outs" src="http://www.beatstatus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/beatstatusoriginal-8-outs.jpg" alt="beatstatusoriginal-8-outs" width="500" height="274" /></p>
<p>It took some time between getting all the printing and finding time to do everything while handling duties over at <a href="http://www.guerrillaRed.com" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.guerrillaRed.com?referer=');">Philly&#8217;s best Web Design company</a>.</p>
<p>More details on the specifics coming soon&#8230;as well as a new project! Also if you want to get your Akai MPC customized, just check out the <a href="http://www.beatstatus.com/store">store</a> for more details!</p>
