Hi David, and thanks for the reply. And thanks for your website, it's been invaluable!

I gave the nice guys at Studio Electronics a call, they had the keys but they seem to have recently disappeared. :( Oh well!

Best,

Scott

Hi Scott.


Welcome to the group!  When I read your question, my first reaction was “not a chance!”.   However, I thought of a couple of possibilities.  First, the guys at Studio Electronics (http://studioelectronics.com) dismantled / dismembered a CS80 many years ago for a project to portablize it.  It was never finished and they sold most of the guts on eBay about a year ago.  They might still have some of the keys around.  Another idea, assuming you’re just talking about the plastic key top, is to get a cheap 3-D printer and make a new one!  If you scanned the existing ones and could print up new ones, you might even have a nice, little business!

Good luck,

  David

Hello all, Scott here (synthRodriguez) and new to the group.

I recently bought a CS80 project machine which will soon receive attention. One of the black keys took a hit at some point; it has a pretty good chunk out of it.

Would someone have a spare they would be willing to sell?

Thanks!
