Fairlight-CMI

A generous person on list was kind enough to make me an "ignition key" for my IIx which had none. They're like samsonite luggage keys, one size fits all, but it sucks if you don't have one. Actually kind of a thrill to wear it on one's keychain all times... Anyhow, if anyone get's a series II without the key, I'd be more than happy to pass along the favor, just let me know

Sincerely,

glenn

p.s. if anyone on list has extra pens for IIx or III's they'd be willing to part with for a reasonable price, please let me know?

You unscrew the system case, take a wire, solder it over the ignition key
contact and presto.
Very handy when you loose the key.

I thought they already were ? How rare is a working IIx these days ?
The seller is a member of this list if I am not mistaken.
