ADA MP1 Rack Cover/Lid Replacement
« on: Time Format »

Hi, the rack cover/lid on my ADA-MP1 is badly scratched, does anyone know where you can buy a new?

Thanks,
Gerry.

MJMP may have a spare ?, or you could get a sheet metal guy to clone you one, it's just a piece of flat steel sheet with appropriate holes drilled in it and IIRC the bottom and top covers are identical (well at least in MP2 they are) so just copy either the top or bottom.  Alternately just sand the scratches out and spray it with some metal paint, or get it powder coated  :dunno:

Thanks for the info guys, unfortunately the lid is badly dented and needs replaced- so if anyone has an old ADA MP1 that has died or for parts just let me know...

I have one...it's not completely dead but it's old (original V1.38) and it has many issues.


To be honest, MJMP asked me about that ADA...so, if he's interested...let's see.
Probably it could be 100% repaired and restored, if one knows how to do the job.

Where are you from, in the meanwhile?

Hey Max, just checked (his profile), he's a fellow Australian  :wave: .
Hey bognerfish, go to sheet metal shop and get them to clone one for you, it will be a piece of piss for them to do and I recon it will be cheaper than shipping it from OS even if someone has a spare (unless someone in Australia has one  :dunno: ).  IIRC Richie in Melbourne has a semi dead MP1 but haven't heard from him in a while.  BTW where in Australia are you ?  MikeB and I are in Canberra.

hey bonerfish, take your lid (or the bottom cover if it's the same as top to a sheet metal shop (there are lots of them) and get a quote to make you one, it will be less I recon than OS postage even if someone has a spare  :thumb-up:
Anther option, Richie_B (http://adadepot.com/index.php?action=profile;u=1664) is also in Melbourne and has a MP1 with issues, who know he may part with it ?

Our guitar player found one, almost spanking new for 225 euro.

Does this mean I can buy the faulty one from Iperfungus?

No worries, You can try to PM Richie_B, haven't herd from him for a while, Max (Iperfungus) might sell it to you ??, postage is the killer which is one of the reasons I suggested Richie_B as you live in the same city.  Max is in Italy so at least they use 240v.  However, if I were buying it from Max, I'd have him send it to MJMP for a bunch of mods/upgrades/whatever it needs first and then get MJMP to ship it to you.

Well, I do not need that 1.38 MP1...so I'm considering selling it.
But...it depends on what you need it for and how much you would spend for it...  :lol:
As Richard said, that's a 220-240V unit and postage will be very expensive from Italy to Australia for sure (60-70 euro, that's about 100 AUD).
Don't know mate...just let me know what you think about.

If you would use it, probably Rich is right: let MJMP restore it for you.
But, as I said, it depends on how much you would spend for that.

Honestly, I wouldn't spend all that money just for a lid, if I were you.
