Im pretty sure Kent spong.. our very own CS80 guru can fix the CS80
ribbons.. give him a shout.. you can get his number link from the RL Music
website ..
> There used to be some info on how to build your own ribbon controller on the PAiA website, this might help finding a solution how to fix it. The only other solution I could think of would be gutting a YC45D organ for its ribbon controller alone. The 45D has got exactly the same ribbon as the CS80, a YC30´s wouldn´t work.
