Hey Q.,
In my case, when I had my CS80 restored two yrs ago (summer 2005) it had
been sitting dormant in the Anvil road case for years. I pulled it out
to use in a "reunion" gig with some old band mates of mine and of course
the tuning was dreadful. My tech went through and scaled all the voices
and did a really fine job, making the unit sound to me better than it
ever had. The only parts he had to replace were many of the trim pots on
the cards, but no semiconductor parts, to my knowledge. FYI, my total
cost for the service was $800, which seemed like a lot at first, but
when I figured it works out to only $50 per voice card, it's not bad at
all. It's nice having it back and usable again!
