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.

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

Duncan,
most of the circuits in the CS60 are the same as in the CS80 (voice/M

Yay - I have a CS-80 again!
Well, thanks to Bradley/Synth80s (and my friend Ed, for helping me

Help please with CS60
Has anyone any experience of the CS60?
I have one for restore/repair.
