Yamaha CS80

A little bit OT, but I think this is good news good news for CS70m owners!

-------------
What?
-------------
You now have the opportunity to get a Yamaha CS70m Midi retrofit by 
Kenton Electronics UK. It will be a redesign of the Kenton kit that was 
discontinued due to parts availability quite some years ago. Scroll down 
to the end of the document to read the specifications.

-------------
How?
-------------
This is a group buy, which means that we need at least 10 prepaid orders 
to start the production. Production and distribution will be approx 8 
weeks.

-------------
Price?
-------------
349 UK pounds + VAT which needs to be paid in advance to Analog Sweden. 
If we don't reach 10 prepaid orders by the 1st of October 2009, your 
money will be promptly returned. Shipping cost not included.

Ordering?
-------------
Send a mail to info@... for further instructions.

installation
-------------
The kits are not intended for installation by the end user. They should 
always be fitted by an experienced synth engineer. The kits are built 
and tested before dispatch. DIY-kit NOT available. Analog Sweden can do 
the installation.

-------------
Background
-------------
We at Analog Sweden have had a few enquiries about CS70m retrofits, so 
we got in touch with Kenton to investigate the possibilites for a new 
production run. Kenton wanted to have a group order to start the 
production, and here we go. Analog Sweden is a studio and repair 
workshop in Helsingborg, Sweden. You can see what we do at 
www.analogsweden.com/blog

If in doubt, you can verify my claims if you get in touch with Kenton,
