The fact that the CS50 is the least fancy of the bunch makes it the most reliable. So if it´s working well and gets maintained on a regular basis, keep it. Otherwise sell it to someone who might need it as an organ-donor (I´d get myself a 50 in an instant if I had the chance to buy one locally).

Subject: [yamahacs80] Should I keep my CS-50
Help me decide to keep my Yamaha CS-50. Im considering getting the
midi retrofit and keeping it forever...............but
All this talk here about chips blowing up on CS-60 and CS-80 leads me
to believe that perhaps Yamaha got it wrong in the engineering of
these two models
From the posts here the track record seems as bad as the Roland Juno
106 voice chip--the question I ask is it all worth it if each time you
turn on the machine
you worry about a chip failure?
On the other hand the CS-50 does not seem as flawed in the engineering
side as the CS-60 or CS-80 looking at the posts
Have I got this right about the CS-50 ? Its not an engineering failure
like the CS-60 and CS-80
thanks in advance
