I’ve got my eye on one for $250, and it comes with the expansion ins/outs. I’d also like to score a 2nd SP505, but it’s gonna be kinda tight in my budget to do both.

Hell yeah, i got one, too. In mint condition. With EX-OS. And with OP1-Board installed and goddamn with working CF-Card-Reader!
For the price i payed, i nearly could have bought a new mpc one. So to be honest i feel a little bad, too. But i think this was the first and surely the last possibility of my life to get a SP-808 in this fantastic condition. I know i were lucky. I could not resist. It's gonna be an awesome combo with my og 404 for beatmaking.
And i am planning to work with the 808 as my main arranger for a whole electronic album. Recording my gear into it. Or pull out old patterns i did years ago and work with timestretch for remixing them and get them into finished songs.
I can not wait until it arrives next week.

Much as I love the MPC stuff (the ONE, the X etc) I think you made the right decision there. I was just browsing ebay to see how much an AKAI MPC 2000XL would set me back in order to grab the CF Card reader from it.

Long story short, it ain't happening :lol:
