Akai S1000
Midi Stereo Digital Sampler
Made in Japan 
1988-93
220-240v unit

Coming with original box!

Unit totally disassembled for cleaning and service before sale:
• new Meanwell PSU
• new backlight

Also included:
• latest system (4.4) on floppy
• several floppies (you can find samples on it, or format)
• Akai library floppies I had with (originals)
• Power cable
• Original box

Really nice shape overall, with minor signs of use.
All functions, leds and buttons working.
Fully tested. 
Inside is healthy, chassis has no corrosion.

Signal is absolutely good (in and out), with a warm and super punchy sound making the reputation of this classic sampler. Great also to have the separate outputs.
The original floppy drive works as it should, smooth and silent. Tested loading, writing and formatting before sale. Also the inverter is not noisy.

About RAM, this unit comes with a 2 MB card (1 MWORDS) from Akai — as stock. You have empty slots to expand if desired.
When you power on the unit with the system floppy, it's written: SYSTEM 4.40 / 1 MWORDS CARD FITTED

With this fully functional unit and floppies, you can start right-away. Having the original box also is nice for collectors (not easy to find nowadays) as it needed to store a pretty big box for decades.
It's a real pleasure both for eyes and ears.
