Hah hah.. what a great story man...
Sorry about your finger, i once dropped an Elka Synthex on my small toe,
similiar pain to your finger i would imagine >.<
Enjoy it... :)
> So here is my story CS-80 story:
>
> I had bought the CS-80 from someone who lives approx. a 2 hours drive away from Frankfurt, not too far, we put the machine in the back of a station wagon and I drove home. I had called up some friends because I needed help with the machine plus I wanted to invite everybody for dinner in a restaurant this evening to celebrate the event.
>
> My studio is under the roof two stairs up. My friend helped me get the CS-80 out of the car, we carried it up the first staircase and then my friend started bitching it was too heavy and said there was no way he would carry it up another staircase. It took me a lot of talking to make him want to continue. The next staircase up and we are in my studio, but just before we could put the CS-80 on its stand, I slipped for no particular reason, a so called unforced error.
>
> The machine came down and unfortunately there still was the little finger of my right hand. I don't want to go into the details here, but it is amazing just how much blood can come from just one finger. The finger looked really bad and I almost fainted. We put a lot of toilet paper around it and my friends drove me to a hospital. They went to the restaurant.
>
> The tip half way ripped off, the nail just loosely attached, the first segment of the finger broken, I got x-rays, shots and stitches and by the time I got to the restaurant that night it was closing. I had one fast beer which given the fact I was high on medication anyway I probably should not have done. My friends drove me home.
>
> I turned on the CS-80 and luckily it made some noises but that was all I was capable of doing. That night I slept on a mattress next to the CS-80 in the studio, or at least I tried to, my hand was pounding and I could measure my heart beat. The next I started playing the machine with my left hand.
>
> And these days, whenever I look at my little finger, I think of this wonderful machine that I have back home.

> Merry X-mas and a Happy New year to all of you
