Fairlight-CMI

This is the reply I received when I asked if it was working...not too 
encouraging in my book!

"i am the second owner 
the first was stanley kubricks daughter vivienne 
who used it on the film "full metal jacket" 
i have never even tried to power it up 
and i know that she didnt use it much outside of that film 
so i am positive that it is in greta working condition"
