There's also a DX-1 just listed today.  Isn't 
there somebody on the list that has one of those?  Are they the one selling 
it?

Yeah, but that's not necessarily a good thing.

I had a DX-1 but sold it last year.

I was also the US Sales Manager for Fairlight Instruments and sold all
three models of the Fairlight CMI, Series II and IIX and the very
early versions of the Series III.

Both the Series II and IIX were 8 Bit audio.  The IIX upgrade changed
the core processors from Motorola 6800 series to the 6809 models that
sped things up and allowed more "analog" control paramters to be
implemented in software as well as other software improvments, as well
as the addition of the MIDI Interface and other upgrades.

yep - that's my DX-1.  It's hard to let the big old boards go, but 
sometimes you just have to do it.  I have a few more things yet to 
list, but the majority will be effects.

I've been toying what to do with my Model 400 and 6 frames.  Keep them 
or sell them and pick up a Memotron or something.

I would have asked the list's opinion on what to do, but I know you all 
are a shy bunch and probably wouldn't speak up.

Since the tape frames are essentially worthless, I'll take them off your 
hands, and just to show what a nice guy I am, I'll even pick up the tab 
on shipping.
When are you gonna find a better deal than that?

I wish I could find one of these for my IIx...
