Wow - the Synthdata (www.keyboardmuseum.com/ar/s/syda/syda.html) really
existed?? Do you at least have some schematics for it so you know how
it was wired into the CS80?

Paging Kent... Good luck, though. I can't imagine the amount of work
it will take to find the parts and rewire it. And then fix all the
problems! With it so torn up, I'd definitely re-cap / replace CMOS
chips while you're doing the work.

As sad as it sounds, I'd probably go this way :( If you do part it
out, I'd be up for some of the boards and a lot of the hardware / case.

Good luck and keep us up to date with your progress.
