CMI IIx Screen unreadable - what to do?

2004-01-02 by Hermann Seib

Hi All,

I've got a slightly problematic CMI IIx here - well, I bought it
defective quite some time ago. Things have changed a lot since that -
thanks to Alexander Guelfenburg of Virtual Music
(http://members.aon.at/virtual-music/e_index.htm if you're interested),
the base unit works now... next on the list is the screen. Don't know
what happened to it, but somewhere between the protective screen in
front and the actual glass of the VDU there's something that looks...
well, crumbled, rotten; something like that.

I've heard that this is a common phenomenon on these screens, but my one
is really bad - it's practically unreadable in some areas (and the light
pen won't see anything there). A picture is here:

Does anybody know how to cure this problem? Or, alternatively, does
anybody know where to get a matching replacement part?

Thank you,

  Hermann
