I should really add more about tuning, I suppose.  The main problem with 
tuning is Yamaha used the cheapest single-turn trimmers imaginable and the 
settings are overly sensitive.  I've replaced all the trimmers on my CS-80 
(this is a very tedious and lengthy task, be forewarned!) with multi-turn 
trimmers which makes tuning much, much easier.

  I've seen that there are several revisions of service manual.  I have 
two, one from 1977 and one from 1981, and there are minor differences.  
And typos in both...
