Re: Help please with CS60
Hey David. I think we've been through the 'touching the cards' thing... Look at Scott's (Old Crow's) site www.cs80.com for info on this. You don't want to blow those static sensitive chips...! I

Re: Mod or keep original? - was Re: Yay - I have a CS-80 again!
My own feeling is that unless the CS80 you have is cosmetically damaged or significantly impaired, I would keep it as stock as possible. I think it will affect the resale value to the NEGATIVE even if

Yay - I have a CS-80 again!
Well, thanks to Bradley/Synth80s (and my friend Ed, for helping me get it up the stairs), I am once again a CS-80 owner! The tolex is a little bit rough and the keyboard needs a bit of work, but

Help please with CS60
Has anyone any experience of the CS60? I have one for restore/repair. Basically, everthing sounds garbled, and on depressing just a single key repeatedly gives a different sound each time it's

Re: What mods would you want?

Re: What mods would you want?

Good point, this. Whats the point of having all these beautiful mods when the instrument becomes unplayable due to some dead custom ICs? Making the spare parts situation sort of safe is an important
