via this auction"You are bidding on a Fairlight Series 3 music computer, its an ex Pet Shop Boys system, this unit powers up but currently doesn't boot up from the hard drive (message displays 'insert boot disk') Either the drive was wiped or has a problem. The hard disk powers up and spins up so may well take another format, it will require a set of system disks which are easily available. Current revision is rev5/6. It will need some work to bring it back to full functionality and would be ideal as a project for a collector, musician or studio. The monitor works but is intermittent, so will also need work but this should be a fairly easy fix. The music keyboard has one broken key, and 2 of the keys have been repaired. The qwerty kbd/graphics tablet has the stylus missing ( I have contacts for several replacement kbds if needed) I also have contact details for engineers who can refurb this machine to the later revision 9 Waveform Supervisor and Rev 11.39 MFX2 operating system if needed. This is a very rare opportunity to buy a complete and original system. Also comes with original operating manual and full set of flightcases, please note the keyboard flightcase has suffered major damage on one side and will need rebuilding. This machine is sold as is ,no returns and collection only from Bath in Somerset. I've had several of these systems so if you have any questions please ask. I'll add some more pics when I get a chance. Spec as follows.
