Excellent news - another CS-80 restored! Please put it in the database
(
http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/yamahacs80/database). Also,
please ask your technician to join the group. It would be great to hear
exaclty what he did to it.
Also, if you've got any recordings of your band, especially tracks
featuring the CS-80, you can put them up in the Files section
(
