For sale: Fairlight Series III MFX2 RACKMOUNT!

2005-04-18 by pmjtaysom

All,

I'm trying to slim down my equipment and I have decided to sell my
Series III (it's the Series II I always end up using anyway!).

I traded the system from Chris Ringham (a *very* knowledgeable
Fairlight owner of around 15 systems!) around three years ago.

I understand very, very few of these rackmount Series III's were made
- I've heard a figure of less than 20 and perhaps as low as 10, but I
have no other info.

The system comes complete with the VGA graphics adaptor - so any
multisync monitor can be used (I use an NEC 18" multisync LCD) and
displays in colour, MFX2 operator keyboard (the one with dual VFD
displays) and a Series III music keyboard.

Additionally, the system is equipped with one of the 32mb RAM cards
and the later wave form super card. I have a 9GB system drive in
enclosure - plus (I think) another three or four drives still in
anti-stat packing that I bought from Peter Wielk (although these have
never been tried, I was told by Peter they contain a number of sound
libraries) which could, if installed in an enclosure, be mounted on
the SCSI bus at the same time for serious storage.

Being an MFX2, this provides multi-track recording to disk - I've
never used this but some people love the sound of the D/A's so much
they're using it as a multi-track recorder.

I've never seen another rackmount Series III for sale so I think it's
fair to say this is a rare opportunity.

Any one interested, please reply off list. In the meantime,

Thanks for the bandwidth,

Philip
