I'm thinking of selling my Yamaha CS-80. First off I'm going to say I
will not ship this. I'm located in the Boston area so you will have to
arrange to have it packed up and shipped if that's what you want to
do. It has sat a lot of life unused (since 1987) and it has had the
power supply completely rebuilt with modern components and is VERY
stable (and runs cooler because of the better PSU). Tuning is pretty
good on it once it warms up and is pretty
solid. It comes with the lid as well.
It will come with the following:
Lid, Original service manual (with foldouts), and a copy of the owners
manual and tuning procedure.
Spare ribbon cable.
Full set of CS-60 slider caps.
About 20 or so actual sliders and switches. (All robbed from a working
CS-60 and are fully compatible)
Spare power switch
Spare dual-centric tuning pot
Spare volume pot
Spare working Voice card
About 8 various spare cards from a CS-60 which have LOTs of parts
incase you ever need them.
Lots of brand new CMOS chips. (My original plan was to replace all the
CMOS but never got around to it)
Probably more parts that I'm forgetting.
The CS-80 works really well. It has some issues here and there (mainly aftertouch is more subtle on seven keys) It is the one I used on my album
"Bartesho" which I know some people here have heard. It's available on
my website and will serve basically as a 35 minute demo of this CS-80
since I used nothing but this to record it. I love it but am not
really using it enough. I'm looking for $9,999. I LOVE this synth, but need to sell due to other life priorities (good things).
Also please don't ask me to sell any of the parts separately. Here is
a link to the album which serves as a good demo:
