EXPENSIVE!!! Particularly for the shape that it's in. I wish he'd sell the monitor tube separately though. =(

the pictures are a bit deceiving. How do you start a IIx without a key unless you must unplug it in order to power it off? Also one fuse appears missing but there are four items that look like audio jack or possibly fuse holders. I hope someone does use the buy it now that would only mean that the prices are up on these.

A generous person on list was kind enough to make me an "ignition key" for my IIx which had none. They're like samsonite luggage keys, one size fits all, but it sucks if you don't have one.

I wonder if the buyer knew about the fully serviced CMI IIx that Jarberry Music have for sale at £1995 !!
Just think what he could have spent that other £2k on !!

Hi Guys,
The Jarberry Cmi has no midi box on the back and a non working light pen. I like how the only time we seems to have a lot of activity on this list is when a CMI is for sale on Ebay. The prices have gone up and will keep going up.
Cheers,
James

Yes it does, but it has no midi box on the back, only flying leads.
