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.

You unscrew the system case, take a wire, solder it over the ignition key
contact and presto.
Very handy when you loose the key.

I thought they already were ? How rare is a working IIx these days ?
The seller is a member of this list if I am not mistaken.

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. Actually kind of a thrill to wear it on one's keychain all times... Anyhow, if anyone get's a series II without the key, I'd be more than happy to pass along the favor, just let me know
Sincerely,
glenn
p.s. if anyone on list has extra pens for IIx or III's they'd be willing to part with for a reasonable price, please let me know?

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

Ah, i see...
Yep, I agree. There are very few technical questions on this forum and when there are, I find the response is quite minimal, if any.
I know there are many fairlight geniuses out there too ;-)
Kind regards,
