Yamaha CS80

In general practice, I have not needed to split sockets apart to fit 
the hole spacing.  Pressing turned-pin sockets into the slightly wider 
spacing becaomes an acquired habit.  Difficult at first, but it gets 
easier as one becomes more familiar with the procedure.

  One note: make sure the holes are "open" and not partially clogged 
with old solder.  Clogged holes can result in breaking pads off the 
board when pushing the socket into place.

  Someone asked for a board overhaul order.  I tend to favor this one: 
TKC, KAS, SH, TSB1, TSB2.  I like to get the board with the most parts 
to replace out of the way first.
