My mistake, my first Cs80 was serial number 1014, bought from Peter Forrest at the turn of the century of thereabouts. My current CS80 which ive had since about 2003 has a serial number around 1200 i think. I always thought there were about 2000 made, but perhaps only 800-1000 after all. I wonder how many are still working and how many got broken up for parts or scrapped? Maybe 500ish still survive? I bet Vangelis still has a few hahaa ;) Ill never part with mine > My first Cs80 was serial number 900 something. > >> AFAIK from my times being Yamaha Product Specialist, older Yamaha >> products for public market start serial numbering from 1000 up.
