Rainer,

+1 on this.

I don't think i will ever let my CS60 go... It is such a nice
instrument to play and experiment with. Now that i restored all of the
electronics it is also very reliable and stays in better tune than my
Pianola.

I have it complete with original chrome legs and case lid. I want to
get the music stand as well (if anyone happens to be selling one from
a butchered CS60). I am also considering having the legs and all
chrome parts restored as they have some small rust spots however it is
very hard to find a company to do this work here in Australia.

At the end of the day we are all custodians of these instruments. If
properly cared for they will outlive us and the next generation.
