Speaking of which, I'm eye-balling a MKII for circa $300 on eBay.might be a little steep for my budget since I already bought an Akai miniak, an old Casio cz-1000 and an M-audio Venom this year.wife will not be happy when a 4th 'board shows up at the door. And this is a first run Mk-1, no internal battery but it looks like an easy fix to add a cell, I have a lithium cell and holder coming from eBay I'll solder in. I'll give it a shot and keep y'all posted. Thanks for the advice, Silly me didn't think of simple contact cleaner. " meant Audacity not bloody Auidty " No worries, I am the last person in the world to be judgmental over grammar/typos.
