Video Tutorial: MPC Pad Replacement

Recently I bought a used MPC 1000 off of Craigslist.com. What I didn’t know when I bought it, was that the 3 of the MPC pads were bad. So I decided to spend $8 per pad ( $24 in total ), plus $8 for shipping, and replace the pads myself.

Tools used:

• Soldiering gun
• Soldier ( Any size should be fine )
• Screw driver
• Flat stable table
• Youtube
  Before attempting to soldier anything, I watched 2 instructional videos on youtube, that helped a lot. Click here: Video 1 , Video 2 .

Side Notes:

• The first pad was hard to do, so I had to redo it. But after that, it was very easy to do.
• I bought my MPC pads from http://vstservice.com/, they are very popular in the MPC world. I paid for 2 day shipping, and they shipped it to the wrong address. When I complained about this, they said it would ship it out the next day, they said they would make up their mistake by given me a adding a additional pad. It, took another 2 days, and no additional pad was added.

Last note, if I can do it, you can do it to, save yourself the heart ache, and of messing with foil or other temporary fixes, just my opinion.
