Re: Fairlight CMI Series III for sale - Ready to Go

2012-11-10 by KyleR

I received the final part from Peter, and my Series III is ready to go.  

It has a brand new graphics pen, a CG3 color graphics card and an RGB-01 interface so that many modern monitors can be used.  

I promised my wife this would be out of the living room by year's end, so I am pricing it for a quick sale.  

$8500 plus shipping (It cost about $1200 to professionally crate and ship my Series II, so figure about the same).  That is just under whatI paid for it in 2007 (with a broken graphics pen, no CG3, no RGB-01, no spare CMI331 and no extra boxes of 8" disks").  

I believe I have described the condition and any issues in prior posts about the sale.  If you have further questions, please let me know.

I would love to find this special machine a loving home where it will see the use it deserves.

It did work when I bought it, and the monitor hasn't really moved since I bought it, so I am inclined to think it is a small fix for someone who could diagnose it.
