Yamaha CS80

Hello Murilo,

It is cruel to say, but I think owning a CS80 without having a competent 
tech within reach does not make real sense.
When you say, that you had it repaired already, while you owned it, then 
it sounds like a CS80-technician is availble basically at least.

So the question is: Is there no CS80-technician in Brazil at all, or is 
it "only" difficult to get a repair session at him?


Whether a Arp2600 is a suitable exchange for a broken CS80 is 
questionable. The ARP would have to be in absolute perfect shape 
optically and technically. And still then it will be a loss. A perfect 
ARP2600 is maybe worth $5000, the repair of the CS80 in the UK or the US 
might cost $3000 or $4000 including shipping. And $8000-$9000 for a 
restored CS80 is a very low price.

PS: just listening to your Giant Flea album 
(https://soundcloud.com/ganzarecords/sets/aldo-the-band-giant-flea-album) 
- very nice! This will fite nicely in my playlists with LCD-Soundsystem,
