Fairlight-CMI

Nothing personal but there's no way 

however.

Try Horizontal Productions in Sydney for machines. Or
GBG (Graham Brett Graham) in sydney if you dare (they
have a lot of fairlights in various stages of build
but will charge you for the time of day).

plus at least every couple of months on ebay, if you
dare.

Pro-Rec's Series II sample cd is like 29.99 USD or
something.

I think hollow sun already has soundfonts or
something, unless you want to re-invent the wheel.

here're the pages:

you can buy it from a distributor in australia for
under $300 aud and run it in your laptop or even  a
muse receptor and there you go
