I'm assuming that if you're taking on all of this work you have some spares lying around. Any chance that you could sell me an IG00152 and/or a Ch II Detune pot?

Still waiting to power it up - I need help getting it up on a stand. I really love the original Yamaha stand. Since it locked onto the CS80 bottom, it allowed one to put it up without help. I did see that this CS80 has the original music rest! Haven't seen one of those in about 15 years (since I stupidly sold a mint CS80 with all accessories since I was getting divorced).

I got it for cost since I was going to mod it for one of the salesmen. He wanted it turned into a wearable/keytar. I case the case in half between the keyboard and the panel and found this really cool adjustable angle brackets that were designed for rack-mount test equipment. The result was that the panel was tiltable like a Minimoog! I also outboarded the power supply and added white noise - and - guitar strap-locks.

(amazing jazz and classical pianist (http://scotthiltzik.com/) and still has the Prodigy. Apparently, it's a big worse for wear, but I'm looking forward to bringing back to better than new! FYI, it will likely be for sale after I fix it up.
