Yamaha CS80

Hey Q.,

In my case, when I had my CS80 restored two yrs ago (summer 2005) it had 
been sitting dormant in the Anvil road case for years. I pulled it out 
to use in a "reunion" gig with some old band mates of mine and of course 
the tuning was dreadful. My tech went through and scaled all the voices 
and did a really fine job, making the unit sound to me better than it 
ever had. The only parts he had to replace were many of the trim pots on 
the cards, but no semiconductor parts, to my knowledge. FYI, my total 
cost for the service was $800, which seemed like a lot at first, but 
when I figured it works out to only $50 per voice card, it's not bad at 
all. It's nice having it back and usable again!
