Fairlight CMI Series III for sale

Fairlight CMI Series III for sale

2012-10-14 by KyleR

I am finally ready to sell my Series III.  Well almost...Peter Wielk is shipping the final part to me, and once it is installed, my CMI will be ready to go.  I am advertising now because I promised my wife it would out of our living room by December :)

-I could not get the original monitor to work, but I am not at all knowledgeable about electronics.  It could be a small thing or a big thing.  It did work when I bought it, and the monitor hasn't really moved since I bought it, so I am inclined to think it is a small fix for someone who could diagnose it.  

I have been using a regular CRT screen from my Roland S-50 setup ( I made a cable to go from the Fairlight CPU to the composite video of the monitor.  

In any case, I will be happy to include one or both monitors in the sale.

Also included are the following:
-The QWERTY keyboard, with working graphics pad and pen.  
-The music keyboard
-External hard drive of libraries from Peter Wielk
-All cables and manuals

The following be be available to the purchaser of the Series III but made available separately if the purchaser doesn't want them:
-CG3 color graphics card (Peter told me he was planning on making additional RGB-01 boards but I don't have one yet)
-Spare CMI-331 card
-4 still-sealed boxes of 8" DS/DD Floppy Disks (40 disks total).

It would be great if the sale was a local pickup in Chicago, but I will ship to most places in the world at cost (To give an idea of costs, it cost me about $1200 to professionally crate and ship my IIX to Australia).

If you have any interest, please email me and I will be happy to provide detailed specs, condition reports and photos.

Thanks.

Peter just let me know that he has the RGB-01 boards ready to go, so the purchase will include the CG3 and the RGB-01 cards.  My Series II will therefore have color graphics and be able to use a wide variety of modern monitors.

Since I'm still thinking about getting a series III, I just wonder: Is there any system for sale in Europe?

Re: Fairlight CMI Series III for sale - Ready to Go

2012-11-10 by KyleR

I received the final part from Peter, and my Series III is ready to go.  

It has a brand new graphics pen, a CG3 color graphics card and an RGB-01 interface so that many modern monitors can be used.  

I promised my wife this would be out of the living room by year's end, so I am pricing it for a quick sale.  

$8500 plus shipping (It cost about $1200 to professionally crate and ship my Series II, so figure about the same).  That is just under whatI paid for it in 2007 (with a broken graphics pen, no CG3, no RGB-01, no spare CMI331 and no extra boxes of 8" disks").  

I believe I have described the condition and any issues in prior posts about the sale.  If you have further questions, please let me know.

I would love to find this special machine a loving home where it will see the use it deserves.
