Fairlight-CMI

Tony,

Funny enough it looks like mine has the touch part working, but the 
hit is not firing. I disconnected it, twiddled the wires and 
reconnected it firmly and it worked for about 30 seconds, but now is 
the same. So I am assuming that it isn't critically broken, but I do 
like the idea of being about to replace it ( and the monitor ) and 
only use the 'real' one for special occasions... ;)

Are you repairing yours yourself or do you know a convenient tech who 
can do this? If it's just bad connections then I have a mate could 
help me circuit trace and fix it. I haven't pushed too hard on this 
as I'm still finding my way without a manuel.

Cheers

Dave

isn't.  Do you know what's wrong with yours because if you still have 
all the bits it may be repairable.   If I can help let me know.
