Yamaha CS80

> killer-congrats!! that's awesome. tell us more-where,(how much
maybe? :) sorry, dont answer if you dont want to!) condition, etc?

its really in great shape.. the tolex is a little worn but its
beautiful inside and the panel is pretty much perfect.  When I got it
in for service i don't believe it had ever been opened before.  I
changed the supply filtercaps and cleaned out the dust inside.

The original Owner bought it in 1979 or 80 and played it briefly
before stashing it in his basement in the early 80's.. its been in
storage since. He was telling me how it took years to pay off and he
wasn't even using it.  It was brought in for a check out last summer
because he intened to sell to fund another keyboard purchase.

I made him an offer and it took 4 months for him to get back to me but
he finally realized shipping to Europe was going to be a pain so he
let it go to me for my best offer so that it would stay in the city
and he could play it if he felt the urge.

I forgot how large it actually is in the 4 months I didn't see it..
we've had a few CS50s come through so I guess thats what my brain was
thinking..  I told my friends they aren't allowed to use it
unless/until they help me move it at least once.

I'll snap some pics later.

oh and I paid alot for it.. but no shipping or repairs so....
