Yamaha CS80

Yes it does seem a shame to part out a nice, working CS60 that was recently resored and with MIDI installed... 

I still have some parts left over from a CS50 and CS60 that were in bad shape and would have required lots of time and money to get fully working. I actually recently sold a complete CS60 for $2500 that was maybe 80% functional rather than parting it so it might survive as whole...
