That sounds very close to what I have in mind!
I'll have to find something with the right height, though, to play 
the CS-80 comfortably while sitting down.

It has just been serviced. I guess I'll have to re-tune it after its 
voyage to Germany, and I'll have to re-connect the PSU for something 
close to 230V.

220V probably was a factory option. My idea is not to use two 110V 
windings in series, but a 110V and the 117V, if the topology allows 
it. That would reduce stress on the PSU components and also reduce 
heat a little.
Has anybody made such a 227V modification on his CS-80 sucessfully 
yet?
