hi folks, i wanted to ask why a particular mod has never been discussed, or done, to my knowledge on CS80's. hoping for some practical answers, to see if i consider should setting out on this.
it seems like it would be relatively easy to detach the PSU from the CS80, and make it an external unit. im assuming that most(if not all) of the reknowned pitch instability/temperature issues were due to the massive PSU/input transformer. after seeing this firsthand, i see there are just two harnesses and a ground wire that connect to the rest of the synth. it seems like it would be pretty easy to take the PSU out, install 1 or 2 connectors to adapt the harnesses to, and build an external box for the PSU. there cant be more than 16-18 total harness pins for the rails of the PSU. by now, im sure every cs80 in existence is a studio unit, and this wouldnt be too inconvenient, and could potentially help the stability. of course, the connector would have to be a screw-in type that could be well secured to the chassis.
is there a reason this hasnt been done, or has this been covered already, and a terrible idea for some reason? thanks guys!
