Fairlight-CMI

I was referred to this group by a repair technician, as I am looking for a new Lightpen for 
my friend's Fairlight CMI-IIx.

He is planning to sell it soon, and we would like to get a few more recordings out of it 
before it goes to some lucky buyer...

Does anyone have a source for the original pen or know which third party pen will work?

Hi Frank
Thanks for the info........thats why I started this
group.
regards
Colin.
