Yamaha CS80

I just noticed that I started this group six years ago (technically August 10).  Quite a lot happened since then.  I originally started it because I hadn't owned a CS80 since 1995 (my second and only had it for about a year - they old went for about $1000 then - in perfect shape with all accessories!).  I was thinking of buying one that needed fixing and thought I'd start this group to find other crazy fans and also some technical help.

I found quite a bit of both.  I would have never gotten the beast all working without the help of several folks, especially Kent Spong!  I've met a bunch of great people, including some actually in person.  I've also had about 7 CS80s in and out of my house in the last few years (not counting the one that just arrived and the one I'm picking up tomorrow - and possibly another CS80 and a CS60 in the near future).  I've done various repairs, tunings, and installed three Kenton MIDI kits (all worked fine - knock on Tolex).

With the way Yamaha built these things (like tanks), and how much they're worth now, I will probably be working on them for many years to come.
