CS-80 Ribbon Spring

CS-80 Ribbon Spring

2010-03-22 by Kurt

Hi Folks!

I'm new here, a keyboard and pro-audio tech/designer in Seattle (Bent Wave Audio). I currently have 2 CS-80's for my studio, one mint, and the other I'm desperate to find a plated spring for the ribbon assembly. I did a search for this subject here, but the thread trailed off back in 2008 with no direct answer I could find. I apologize if this has been covered recently! I have a mint CS-60 as well, but I would rather sell that than to use it for parts, but then again the factor of price difference between the 60 and 80 may force me to use the CS-60 to keep both units running in the future.

All the best and any info is welcome,

Kurt Bujack

You might want to gut a Yamaha YC-45D organ for spare ribbon parts, or get in touch with Kent Spong.
