So it’s been a while since I updated the progress of the 2kxl rehab, but it’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 pics below:
This was before. Falling apart, busted floppy drive, rundown pads.
Some of the problems I discovered after picking it up:
1. No Power – FIX: Simple Fuse
2. Bad Floppy Drive – FIX: Installed Internal ZIP
3. Audio In/Out not working – FIX: Installed 8-outs w/ Digital I/O
4. Beat Up Pads – FIX: New Black Pads
5. Ugly banged up case – FIX: Custom Skin
After all the simple fixes, this is what it looks like today:
It took some time between getting all the printing and finding time to do everything while handling duties over at Philly’s best Web Design company.
More details on the specifics coming soon…as well as a new project! Also if you want to get your Akai MPC customized, just check out the store for more details!
