Hi there Currently restoring a Cmi Fairlight IIx, the one from Talk Talk actually. We still have issues using and testing the lightpen. When we open it it works more or less, but when we put back the cover of the pen it doesn't work at all. It seems that it's a well known problem difficult to solve. Anyway, anyone in the group having some reference or ressources to repair or get a new lightpen somewhere in the world? Thanks in advance Pascal

Hello Pascal, well, you are a lucky guy to have that IIx from Talk Talk. please let us Fairlighter's know how the samples from Talk Talk's albums sound. I heard that IIx sold with library disks from the Colour Of Spring album (a great CD). The greedy side of me must ask, can you by chance copy those sample floppies to someone's Series III HD so we can have a listen ? I'd ship a SCSI HD or WORM to get that library copied. can you post photos on the site here of the famous IIx from Talk Talk ? wish I could help on the lightpen, but I have a Series III. cheers, David --- In Fairlight-CMI@yahoogroups.com, "pescoyez" <pescoyez@y...> wrote:

Hi Pascal, this is a very good idea from David ! I´ve got a IIx and I would love to listen to the Talk Talk sound. For your problem: you can contact http://www.touched-by-sound.com They are very good in repairing thinks like that. I had problems with my IIx when I bought it but after TBS fix it I had no more problems. All the best, Marc --- In Fairlight-CMI@yahoogroups.com, "David J. Wilson" <jeepcherokee_10@y.= ..> wrote:
