Yamaha CS80

The fact that the CS50 is the least fancy of the bunch makes it the most reliable. So if it´s working well and gets maintained on a regular basis, keep it. Otherwise sell it to someone who might need it as an organ-donor (I´d get myself a 50 in an instant if I had the chance to buy one locally).

  Subject: [yamahacs80] Should I keep my CS-50


  Help me decide to keep my Yamaha CS-50. Im considering getting the 
  midi retrofit and keeping it forever...............but

  All this talk here about chips blowing up on CS-60 and CS-80 leads me 
  to believe that perhaps Yamaha got it wrong in the engineering of 
  these two models
  From the posts here the track record seems as bad as the Roland Juno 
  106 voice chip--the question I ask is it all worth it if each time you 
  turn on the machine
  you worry about a chip failure?

  On the other hand the CS-50 does not seem as flawed in the engineering 
  side as the CS-60 or CS-80 looking at the posts
  Have I got this right about the CS-50 ? Its not an engineering failure 
  like the CS-60 and CS-80

  thanks in advance
  David
