I should really add more about tuning, I suppose. The main problem with
tuning is Yamaha used the cheapest single-turn trimmers imaginable and the
settings are overly sensitive. I've replaced all the trimmers on my CS-80
(this is a very tedious and lengthy task, be forewarned!) with multi-turn
trimmers which makes tuning much, much easier.
I've seen that there are several revisions of service manual. I have
two, one from 1977 and one from 1981, and there are minor differences.
And typos in both...
