My mistake, my first Cs80 was serial number 1014, bought from Peter Forrest at the turn of the century of thereabouts.
My current CS80 which ive had since about 2003 has a serial number around 1200 i think.
I always thought there were about 2000 made, but perhaps only 800-1000 after all. I wonder how many are still working and how many got broken up for parts or scrapped? Maybe 500ish still survive?
I bet Vangelis still has a few hahaa ;)
Ill never part with mine

My first Cs80 was serial number 900 something.
AFAIK from my times being Yamaha Product Specialist, older Yamaha products for public market start serial numbering from 1000 up. If there are some machines with numbers under 1000, they are prototypes or testing pieces. Maybe that's the reason for a mistake. Newer products use different coding system, not just simple numbering. Daniel Forro On 3 Dec, 2012, at 4:40 AM, David Rogoff wrote:

Thanks.
1000 made you say ? So synthmuseum is wrong claiming they were 2000 units then ?
I'm pretty sure. I've never seen/heard of a serial number under 1000 or over 2000.
