Hi there, The monitor with the the metal badge is the proper IIx monitor. the other monitor sounds like it was the later Series III MFX monitor. If I had a picture I could narrow it down. The black keyboard is rare as there was not very many ever made. I read once a long time ago on the history of the Fairlight about a black keyboard but now I can't recall the reason. I'll try and find it again. It could have been made as a special for someone. These were done by Fairlight as the artist were liked to be kept happy. I seen one on ebay once I think a guy in France own it. talking of ebay theres a Series III on it at the moment. It did not hit the reserve the last time and the owner has lowered the "Buy It Now" price and I feel it will sell this time. Best regards, Colin
