Need A Black Key - CS80


 

Hello all, Scott here (synthRodriguez) and new to the group.


I recently bought a CS80 project machine which will soon receive attention.?One of the black keys took a hit at some point; it has a pretty good chunk out of it.


Would someone have a spare they would be willing to sell?


Thanks!

Hi Scott.

Welcome to the group! ?When I read your question, my first reaction was “not a chance!”. ? However, I thought of a couple of possibilities. ?First, the guys at Studio Electronics () dismantled / dismembered a CS80 many years ago for a project to portablize it. ?It was never finished and they sold most of the guts on eBay about a year ago. ?They might still have some of the keys around. ?Another idea, assuming you’re just talking about the plastic key top, is to get a cheap 3-D printer and make a new one! ?If you scanned the existing ones and could print up new ones, you might even have a nice, little business!

Good luck,

? David

Hi David, and thanks for the reply. And thanks for your website, it's been invaluable!

I gave the nice guys at Studio Electronics a call, they had the keys but they seem to have recently disappeared. :( Oh well!

Best,

Scott
