well theres more to the story but we are getting into personal matters... im ok to disclose...

im scoring?a feature film this year... i bought the prophet 5 and cs60 because the director wants a retro synth heavy score...

i bought the cs60 at the wrong time... im leaving my day job sooner than i expected and i have to fly to be on set for the film...the money situation feels more risky now... and it would be a relief to get money back from the cs60... to have money tied up in a repair shop waiting period is scary right now... and yeah the ribbon, ring mod, and high pass filter are the?features that?made me want the cs in the first place...

I got a replacement ribbon from Doug at Synthparts. I think Kent Spong does reconditioned ribbons as well.

Worth getting the CS60 sorted I reckon

It sounds in great condition..... are you really sure a ribbon is worth losing a cs60 for?? I have a cs80 and it is one of the features I use least.... perplexed

i wont repair it myself... im not comfortable opening up such an expensive unit

id prefer to have sam at three wave music fix it... but he already has my prophet 5 and theres a long wait... i actually got the cs60 as something to help me with the wait... and it ended up being in more disrepair than the prophet

at this point id rather just sell the cs60 to get my money back... instead of even more waiting games

Do you wanna keep it if not for the ribbon? ?It’s not too hard to repair.

i bought a CS-60 (the one in the "ribbon controller fail" topic) and... the ribbon controller is working intermittently and has as an indentation - i'm not really a DIY repair kind of guy... and my tech will take a while to have available time to repair... so i'm trying to see if anyone is interested in buying it in the mean time - location: philadelphia, pa suburbs USA - reduced price to compensate for the damaged ribbon - i hope this is considered "relevant spam" and not just outright spam
