Subject: Re: OT: gear sold

I very nearly got as good a deal back in '86 when I bought my first
CS-80. I paid £250 for it and it's still going strong. Lately I bought
my second one for £1350 - with issues, now all fixed (I believe.)

Just tuned her up yesterday. I'm hoping to install those de-coupling
caps on the TKC board in both my 80's and also change the Power Supply
caps in the very near future. I noticed that in David's photo here in
the folder on this site, there are around 10 small blue ones (look
like polarised caps to me) -which ones are those? I have bought all my
electrolytics already, there are just the non-polarised 0.1mfd and 4
others: 0.001 and a 0.022 (around IC 721) and two more only marked as
'K' (around IC 722)

Has anyone any idea about those?

Sorry this has turned into a long question -

Gear I have sold:

Fender Rhodes Stage 73.
Crumar Performer.
Moog Polymoog Synth.

I was thinking of selling my Clavinet D6, but reading posts here
recently (and also advising others NOT to sell) I am having second
thoughts.

Cheers,
TOM
