I found the email and it seems my memory played a trick on
me.
Here is the original info from Peter
Vogel:
" If I knew where to get lightpens
Id be happy to share that information. I havent actually
been looking as they will only work with CRT displays and the new CMI uses an
LCD, so I have not been looking for lightpens that would work with a CRT.
It would be possible to make alternative electronics that would fit inside the
case were having made for the new lightpen (which isnt an optical device at
all) to replicate the original lightpen. This would cost, at a guess, $5,000 to
make say 20 of these. If I could sell 20 at $250 I would recoup costs. So anyone
whos interested in buying a lightpen for $250 please email me and if I get 20
orders Ill do some more investigation. Alternatively, if someone else would
like to provide the electronics, Id be happy to sell them the
casings."
Kind regards,
Peter
Kersten.

As far as I know, you can buy series I, II and IIx pens directly from the current Fairlight-music company (Peter Vogel).Regards,Peter Kersten.---------------------------------------------------

Hi Tim,do you have one for the IIx? I'n in need of one and would love to get one a.s.a.p.Ramon----- Original Message -----From: TimSent: Wednesday, July 17, 2013 11:14 PMSubject: [Fairlight-CMI] FS: NOS CMI PensI've decided that instead of going to ebay, I'll give fellow CMI enthusiasts here a chance to buy the pens that I have for sale.
Pics are in the pictures section. I'm asking $200 each. If it's in the US I'll include shipping at that price.
These are new and have never been installed. I'm selling 3 of them. 1 has a replaceable tip. First person to buy will get that one.
Sorry - no Paypal. We'll have to figure out another payment method.
Thanks!
Tim
