The Fairlight CMI is a legendary machine which really took sampling into the modern world. Here we have 100 Things I Do working on restoring a Fairlight CMI IIx, and in this section he works on getting the computer to boot the operating system and focusing on refurbishing the keyboard. Great to have the skills to take on a mammoth task like this, kudos to him for keeping samplers alive! This is part 3, parts 1 and 2 are shown below. Here's the video description... 

Sorry this took so long to get finished but there was many many hours of video to shrink down into something that is hopefully inetersting to watch. 

We mostly concerntrate on getting the computer section to boot the operating system and refurbishing the music keyboard in this clip! Monitor, lightpen and hopefully some sound in the next Fairlight clip!
