Good point! More healthy CMIs is more health for the community. It always saddens me when someone splits their previously functioning (or nearly functioning) CMI into parts and sells them, even if I happen to need parts sometimes. They are extremely robust for a piece of vintage electronics, and built and engineered very solidly. What goes wrong with them is often quite minor.

Yes I agree with you, some people are here only to make business, only going there to find parts, asking some infos and selling their cmi , I don' t speak for Peter Wielk , JB or RY , they are pro and don' t hesitate to use their soldering iron to bring back a cmi to life.
This is a huge problem for Fairlight community as they disassemble a cmi that might be easily fixed with a good engineer to fix an other Fairlight , this reduce the number of existing Fairlight .
