Hi sTephen,
telling from my own experience, I´m afraid no official Yamaha service provider will touch a CS60, let alone a CS80. I got in touch with a company in my area (PMS in Minden) but they turned pale and declined politely...
I don´t know any tech in Berlin but I know a technician in Bielefeld who would not hesitate to touch a CS80, but he knows the value of his labour... I could also put you in touch with a very kind Dutchman who is not afraid of the bigger CS series synths.
If interested, you can get in touch with me off-list.
Cheers,
Stephen.

Hey Stephen,
Yamaha Germany is keeping a list of people who can fix a CS. Contact
them directly, they should be able to give you the name of a tech in
your area. Next stop could of course be KSR in London, but shipping
the CS will be very expensive.
Cheers
