Hi and congratulations on your CS. You might want to replace all tantalium caps as well as they are prone to failure as I´ve been told.

  hello all, as of a few hours ago, i have joined you proud cs-80 owners in heaven on earth! my apologies for any of my previous offers of purchase within the group, however, the only way i was able to source one was by basically blabbing as much as possible about being a potential buyer. 

  so here's my question; my unit is fully functioning(needs a bit of tuning/calibration), however, as with anything i own thats old and analog, i plan on at least replacing all the elec. caps in the PSU. im wondering; are there any other things i should swap out now to ensure a longer life for the instrument?

  thanks so much for any other advice!
