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

I dragged a cheap unloved CS50 home today. I made sure it had all its voice cards - it does (even has a lid and it's legs!), and I was able to plug it in and get some sounds out of it with some borrowed headphones. I can play four keys at the same time -so it seems all voices are trying to work -but it sounds bad of course -tunings are all over the place. I haven't done a methodical inventory of functions, but most of the controls seemed to have an effect on the sounds it was making.
I've seen a lot of 'I'm working on chip two on board three to restore function x' posts on here, but didn't find one about starting from scratch nursing one of these back to health. I'm thinking a good place to start would be to borrow an oscilloscope and go through the calibration procedure.

The reason I'm posting here: is there anything I should look at/check before I do the calibration?

Does anyone have any cosmetic leftovers from a parted out CS50? Contact me off line.
