Yamaha CS80

I purchased one from Kent about four or five years ago when they were around 100 bucks each. So, he already got my business :)

It seemed to be of good quality, but I think I botched the install (I barely know what I'm doing). It still doesn't quite work right. I would love to get another, at a good price...

I should have just sent him the whole ribbon, but at the time, I was too poor/cheap to pay the extra 100 bucks that would have cost.

best,

D

I certainly wouldn't intend on taking away any business from Kent, but I was just hoping to replace my possibly busted ribbon with the exact same component, gold plating and all that good stuff.
