Hi Nigel/Scott
Good to know. Thanks.
I tend to use Ebay, Synthparts, and Vintage Planet for most of my synth
parts (I repair all kinds of synths, not just Yamaha CSs)
I'll make enquiries with RL music. $285 isn't too bad for a specialist part
in opinion. Especially when it's something so vital to the character of the
instrument.
Cheers
Bob
