You can replace the resistors with soldering pen. As long as you have not cracked the board or damaged the trace lines. The resistors have colored bands on them to identify the resistance value. Take them with you to your local electronics supply store like Radio Shack and they will be able to tell you the values of each of the resistors.

Maybe try adjusting the MASTER level? Good Luck Other settings Adjusting the master level You can adjust the level of the headphone and the stereo out by turning the MAIN VOLUME knob. The MAIN VOLUME changes the analog signal level. This will also adjust the entire level of the MPC1000 digitally. 01. Press the [MODE] key and then the [PAD 10] (OTHER). It switches to the OTHER mode. 02. Press the [F1] (GLOBAL) key. The GLOBAL page will be displayed. 03. In the Master level field, set the level. You will set the digital signal level, which will be sent out to the DA converter. The MPC1000 can output up to 32 sounds simultaneously. There is the great difference in the level when you play single sample and play 32 sounds. If you increase the value in the Mater level field, you can increase the entire level of the MPC1000 to create more powerful sound with less noise. However, if you playback many sounds at the same time, the level may be overloaded, which may cause distortion. If you decrease the value in the Master level field, you can prevent distortion when you play many sounds at the same time. However, you cannot have a good result in respect to the noise or punch of the sound. Set the appropriate value in the Master level field depending on the application.

yes it does. i have it working with various midi soft instruments in avlinux. it's seen as an ALSA midi device. with alsa2jack (a2jmidid), it works with jack midi as well.

I see no reason why not...but that will depend what part of the country you are in...where are you located???

Hello,That's probably the drive belt inside the player, hope this helps.

If it's on ONE particular record, it may have a deep groove that the needle cannot move past. It could also be that you don't have enough pressure on the needle which you can adjust on the arm with a turn of the counter-weight (should be a knob on the other end from the needle)
