CS-80 vs CS-15 sliders

[McIntosh, Malcolm]

Assuming you have checked with Yamaha, you could try:

Taper Engineering
7153 Northland Drive
Brooklyn Park, Mn   55428

Voice:	612/ 504-3888
Fax:	612/ 531-8266

Their catalog shows they have 2 Meg audio taper sliders in a variety of
shapes and sizes.

They will probably send you to a distributor who will want to sell you 1000
pieces.  Get a list of distributors from them or the look on the internet.
Call distributors and talk nice to them until you find one who will send you
a catalog.  After the catalog comes in (2 weeks or so) figure out which
slider will work in your Yamaha CS-15.  Call distributors and talk nice to
them until you find one who will help you out and sell you a few samples.
This is how got sliders for my Moog Opus 3.

If you like, I'll send you a copy of the pertinent pages from the Taper
catalog threw the mail.  

Good luck,

Malcolm

P.S.  All sliders except the 1 Meg Duel Ganged ones worked great.  Opus 3
sounds as good as it can now.  I could find no samples of 1 Meg Duel Ganged
sliders in the shape, size, and lead configuration available with the
specialized taper (A10) required.  Rebuilt the old ones successfully.
