Hi , long time since i have visited ,,,

This is me the Microsine cs-80 dude . I have started again the restoration of that poor CS-80 . All pictures will be uploaded to my flickr account (((  http://www.flickr.com/photos/31603983@N05/  )) , this can be interesting for some of you , and very disturbing for some others . ( please take note that my usual language is french so will try to coherent and forgive the mistake ) . 

first , the microsine system have been removed from the cs-80 because the external interface was lost. I really think this was the only cs-80 equiped with the microsine system . i live near what used to be the microsine cie . Unable to contact the owner or to find the interface or info , i decided to put the cs-80 back to it's factory condition. 

Thanks to a CS-80 group member . I have most of the missing parts . T51 52 53 54 boards and factory preset knob assembly , they were removed by microsine to fit the microsine system boards. 

The user presets assembly is still missing ( if someone as that part to sell i will be glad to pay for )). it is not mandatory but sure will be a nice feature to have . 

I thank in advance to all members of this group , and Old crow for the informations that will make this crazy attempt to be posible .

Does anyone can give me some advise about the key contact , is it silver/palladium ? And does someone as a section of contacts to sell , a section on mine as been badly corroded with acid of the memory back-up battery of the microsine system.

Yes - these pictures are like watching a slasher movie!

Good luck - you're very brave!

Yeah brave , is the word . I never listened live to a cs-80 , ( perhaps at a genesis concert) this is what is driving me . But anyway , any kind of work put on this historical synth will  be a very profitable learning laboratory . I will  soon put some less disturbing pictures .

Hello -- do you mean the panel with all the small sliders and switches?  If so, I have one of those I can sell you.
