Hey D T, anytime I think of the CS-50, I think of this track. Awesome sounds and a very capable synth, indeed, as is the CS-60.




>>>> Hey! There is no “only” owning a CS-50! CS-50s are wonderful :)

Thanks to Kyle and Florian and everyone else for always helping people out on these lists...

Thanks for letting me know, Florian, and again for your assistance in my previous technical questions.
Kyle, you make some valid points, and lord knows I can be impatient sometimes, but speaking from someone who's been a part of the vintage synth DIY community since the early 2000's, back in the heyday when folks would generously take the time to explain every possible option and approach to resolving? technical problems, I've noticed a marked decline in support. Nowadays, it seems, and like I said, I posted this question on several other forums, it seems things have changed, and I'm wondering if I should either just drop this CS80 off at a service center and pay the $1000's to get it fixed, or just sell it as is and get a Prophet 6. I am a dedicated composer and feel blessed to even have a CS-80 in my possession, and my frustration doesn't just lie in the fact that having to deal with these technical issues is hampering my productivity, but with the egotism I've seen in the musical world in general. One forum in particular (not this group, but one that starts with an 'm' and rhymes with 'uffwiggler') have a few CS-80 owners that will sometimes respond at first, but if they receive a response that in some minuscule way could be misconstrued know-it-all-ish they seemed to get their technical panties in a bunch and just drop off. I don't think it'd take more than 5 minutes to do this test with a DMM, and it can probably done without raising the card riser if you can get a probe to the rail, and this thing was designed to have the main panel raised and lowered and it shouldn't damage anything doing so unless someone is half lit on Moscow Mules beforehand. I would gladly do the same for another CS-80 user, and if one were to do so for me, or even respond with something like 'hey, that sucks, wish I could help, good luck' I always try to offer a clear and concise thank you from my ethereal space.

I own only a CS-50, and I do take care for two CS-80ies here in town sometimes. It might take several months until I will be in front of a CS-80 again...

There was a recently-serviced CS-60 on the Philly Craiglist a few weeks ago as well. I contacted the owner, but he'd just sold it on Reverb.

There’s a CS70m for sale in Philadelphia; they’re quite uncommon even less so than the 80s-Ron

Fellow CS-80 owners, with the power off, could you please do me a solid and measure the resistance between the +15V power rail on the card riser (the lower bar that the cards screw into) and ground. I am trying to figure out if the 70 ohms I'm getting is normal or if this is indicative of a partial short. Thanks! Cheers, Jonathan

I don't have one here, but 15V/70 ohms = 214 mA, which seems a low amount of current for all of those voice boards. But since it's not powered on, it might be a reasonable impedance for this situation. Certainly 70 ohms is nowhere near a short circuit, given the large amount of circuitry present. It's not clear to me if a shorted component/capacitor would NOT show a short when no power was present, but then go short when power was applied...I don't think so...

Thanks, Kyle, I'll keep that all in mind. I have this question posted on half a dozen forums, including Muffwiggler, VintageSynth.com, moogmusic.com, and the CS-80 Facebook page, and am baffled by the lack of response for such a simple question. Perhaps there's a reason these machines are kept from artists dedicated to the craft of creating music, only to waste away in the hands of hip hop studios and wealthy collectors. Given my financial situation, I am getting tempted to sell my CS-80 at this point if this is the kind of support I can expect in the long haul. C'est la vie, I suppose…guess I'll just muse on something the late, great Kevin Lightner said in one of his final posts: "My suggestion to someone who wants a vintage synth fixed is to have a lot of patience, research everything and have no expectations whatsoever."

Just thought I'd bump this post if anyone on the USA west coast has a CS-70M for sale... preferably in Oregon or Washington State, or Vancouver BC. I'm still looking to acquire one so drop me a note if you're willing to sell/trade.
Cheers

Hello all,

I'm a longtime lurker but wanted to say thanks for this group -- its a treasure trove of information and resources. I love vintage Yamaha synths and have a few myself -- CS-30, CS-50/60, CS-40M, SK-30.

I've been looking to acquire a Yamaha CS-70M and was wondering if anyone might have one for sale. If so, please drop me a line to discuss. I also have a fair number of other synths I may be willing to part with if there's interest in a trade + cash deal.

I'm based in western Canada (BC) if shipping is required. If you happen to be in BC, Alberta, or Washington state/Oregon I'm also willing to drive a fair distance to acquire one.

Thanks so much... hope to hear from you.

Did this problem ever get resolved?

Thanks, Kyle, I'll keep that all in mind. I have this question posted on half a dozen forums, including Muffwiggler, VintageSynth.com, moogmusic.com, and the CS-80 Facebook page, and am baffled by the lack of response for such a simple question. Perhaps there's a reason these machines are kept from artists dedicated to the craft of creating music, only to waste away in the hands of hip hop studios and wealthy collectors. Given my financial situation, I am getting tempted to sell my CS-80 at this point if this is the kind of support I can expect in the long haul. C'est la vie, I suppose…guess I'll just muse on something the late, great Kevin Lightner said in one of his final posts: "My suggestion to someone who wants a vintage synth fixed is to have a lot of patience, research everything and have no expectations whatsoever."

Don't all shout out at once..

"Likely" working? So it's never been tested?

Fellow CS-80 owners, with the power off, could you please do me a solid and measure the resistance between the +15V power rail on the card riser (the lower bar that the cards screw into) and ground. I am trying to figure out if the 70 ohms I'm getting is normal or if this is indicative of a partial short. Thanks! Cheers, Jonathan
