Good news. After the CS-80 stabilized the issue I mentioned below went away. My CS-80 is now perfectly in tune and functioning at 100%. Merry Christmas!

My son and I used a ladder to drag it (looked like the Ark of the Covenant or something) through the snow and around to the back basement entrance of my house. I spent several hours getting it cleaned up and situated in place in my studio. Amazing how dirty it was!

It came with all of the original schematics, owners manual, and tuning procedure manual. Is this a pretty easy fix? It appears to be either the VCA or VCF attack /decay settings that need adjusting. There's no way in hell I'm dragging this out of the studio to my tech's as it took me hours to get it in here. I really want to learn how to tune and make the adjustments myself.
