Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Yamaha CS80

Mike,

thanks for your message. We've had a great group going here for almost
7 years now with basically zero spam, trolling, or other anti-social
(digital?) posts. I certainly understand having a bad day and
sometimes the requests for help can seem a bit much - sometimes
appearing more-so from members whose first language isn't English. It's
great that you researched and located a source of replacement bulbs.
Amazingly, the CS80 I recently finished fixing, for all its many, many
problems, didn't need any bulbs :)

There are tons of folks here with widely varied backgrounds. I've given
help when I could and also gotten help from others at times when I've
been stuck on a repair. I don't do this for a living unlike some of the
people here. I just enjoy working on the beasts and helping out
desperate CS80 (and occasionally Oberheim and Moog) owners who need
repairs or MIDI installs. Sometimes I wish I could do it full time, but,
alas, I don't think I could make as much money as my day job designing
(evil digital) computer chips...

Anyway, thanks again everyone for making this a great group. Now go
play with your poly aftertouch and ribbon controllers :)

David
