Looking for cables
2014-06-26 by roy@seefactory.com
Hi I am working on a IIx and I need 2 cables. 1 from the mainframe to the note keyboard and 1 from the main frame to the monitor. Does anybody have them for sale? Thanks, Roy

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

that all sounds a bit sanctimonious, I think you'll find all high end manufacturers spares are both rare and therefore sell at a premium, such as SSL, Synclavier, Neve etc. I know of several dealers that buy large SSL consoles and strip them out for spares because firstly in some

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 i

Wierd, I never saw all LEDs working before except when there was a problem. Does anybody know the necessary cfm of the fans? The new ones are Aztec Tri-cool, I can switch them to low, med or hi: 1200 / 1600 / 2200 RPM 21 / 28 / 38 CFM 14.6 / 21 / 27 dBA Now they are set to medium

Hi Med, in my understanding, all LEDs should lid but it maybe some MFX2 specifics. So, I'll be not making any statement here. Be careful with "quiet fans" replacement. With so huge difference 15 vs 40, it probably get you lower LFM. I suggest you to double check that by looking i

2014-05-01 by mederic@gmail.com
Hi all, i have a mfx2 and today I changed my fans for the new Tri-cool 92mm fans. They are very quiet (15db instead of the usual 40db, each) and you get three speed settings to play with. Now I would like to know: Not all LEDs lit up before, I think +5v digital did not light up.

Hi James, On my Q219s, the lower 10 way (S0) are the LP signals, and the upper (S1) is the video. This is confirmed by the IIx service manual, both in the schematic, and in the theory of operation pages for Q219 page 41. S0-pin4 is 5V for the lightpen, presumably, but the cable d
