Re: [Fairlight-CMI] Blast from the past

Peter, how wonderful you found this group.
I think I may say we're most honored to meet you here !

Welcome!

The CMI is a beautiful machine, so many years after its conception it
still has a very special place.

I'm sure we will be firing requests for the pdfs over time :)

I for one am also very interested to know whether you have a list of who
owns / owned which unit, as sellers' claims of previous ownership can not
always be verified.


Looking forward to read more from you.

Best regards,

Harald Feldmann.
