Re: Yamaha YC-45D organ expression pedal usable with a CS-80?
Hi,
Doesn’t the FC7 / CB 83742 volume pedal work with the Yamaha CS-50/60/80? Please correct me if I am wrong (now I’m curious). I think those are not so difficult to obtain.
And FC4 for

Now I'm relieved, at least a little bit.
You might want to try and have a go at the pedal of the SY-1 -- it works as a swell pedal with the CS50 so it should work with a CS80 as well.

...and thanks Stephen, I promise no YC organ will loose it's pedal! It's not mine to mess with in any case, just thought if it worked with a CS-80, I could have a tech reverse engineer it of sorts and

Thanks Florian, I'll see if I can have a tech build or mod a pedal for me.

Re: Yamaha YC-45D organ expression pedal usable with a CS-80?
Since the YC's swell pedal is hardwired to the unit, it can only be used with a CS synth when ripping it from an organ first. Which would be a bloody shame.
A while ago, I posted a similar

Hi
This is the Circuit-diagram from the YC45 (I hope the embedded image is accepted by groups.io)

Greetings,
I hope this message finds everyone in the forum well. A friend of mine has the YC-45D organ, and I noticed that the expression pedal is very similar to the one that originally came with

Oh...In my turn I missed this message from you.So yes indeed, using alligator to tie the lead and sense lines together is a quick way to go, but your option of getting a load resistor bank is surely a

Yes you're correct, I actually meant transistors.So will include all that in my Mouser order, thanks a lot!

Re: Identifying correct resistor value for CS80 power transistor
I usually get the cut strips, but any will do.
I believe you mean the transistors, not the resistors in your last
sentence? If so, for power transistors in the CS-80 I use:

Great idea! So right, with your p/n references i found the molex plug on Mouser, but the socket terminals gives 3 different results (regular, ‘cut strip’, and also ‘mouser reel’).I dont really

Re: Identifying correct resistor value for CS80 power transistor
Since you're ordering parts anyway, just get a new Molex plug and some
terminals and make up a little dedicated resistor load bank you can just
plug in to the power supply. The plug is Molex p/n

Scott,
The damaged resistor is on the +15 volt line, but the foot switch issue you mention makes me think of another (ghost) short I had some while ago, which happened only when the Yamaha foot

Re: Identifying correct resistor value for CS80 power transistor
That makes sense indeed.
So I won't take any more risks in the future and will do your way from now on. And since these temporary resistors would tie each +15/+15S and -15/-15S lines together, the

It drives the power transistor output circuit to its voltage
limit, somewhere around 27 volts if I recall correctly..I'm not sure
exactly what damage it can cause, but it's certainly not something you

"As another?point in the matter, do not power-up?the power supply unless it has a load on it. It needs to have the circuit completed in order to work properly"
Waou this info is very useful Scott!

Re: Identifying correct resistor value for CS80 power transistor
If the damaged ceramic resistor is on the -15 volt side, it's likely
someone plugged a footswitch into the Foot Controller port on the back of
the synth. Doing so will short the -15 volt side to

*" should I conclude the outputs transistors themselves are 100% kept safe

I would expect so, they're pretty bulletproof and can handle a hefty
overload for a short period.
