Aussie Gear Projects

1

Hi all,

I have 3 projects related to Aussie gear that are running at the moment that are ACMS adjacent. These are:

  1. Restoration of A Fairlight III
  2. Restoration of a Microtec 209
  3. Restoration of an ETI 685 kit computer

Would anyone be interested in updates on these projects or being involved? Maybe we could do videos on these?

Also it’d be good to get more projects like this going with Aussie stuff. E.g. the Hartley gear.

Riley. Where are you doing these restorations?

One in Melbourne (Microtec) and the other two in Sydney at separate locations.

I’d be interested in the Fairlight restoration

Cool - it is in a studio just 5 mins from the ACMS. I was at Fairlight founder Peter Vogel’s house today actually! Amazing chap. The Fairlight powers on and the cards seem to work. Next step is to get some software I think?

@R_Freeman - I think the first problem to be solved is getting a SCSI drive we can use with the Fairlight. It’s a CMI III/Mfx. I’m not sure of the specifics.
