Hi All,
since there seems to come back some life into the group, I was always wondering about one thing: Before I had a CS80 I was always reading about what a headache the machine is regarding staying in tune over time. Some technician even told me once that just by moving it around in the room detuned some oscillators.
I haven't made that experience. Actually I calibrated mine from ground up, which was quite a ride that will cost me a few years of my lifespan, but I learned a lot. I documented it, mainly for myself if I have to ever do it again :) , in case of interest : Anyway, I calibrated mine in 2016, meanwhile I also moved to another apartment. I recently checked how good it is in tune and it is slightly detuned here and there, but it is not bad and I cannot really hear it when playing.
I wonder about my fellow CS80 owners what experience they make or made regarding this.?

I have a cs80 that mostly works.
It needs some Service.
It’s in New Jersey.
Is someone interested in buying it.
Email me here?

I have installed all mutiturn Pots and it was stable even when you move things around.

Always been curious to install these multiturn pots in my CS80 too. Could you possibly share the pots reference of the ones you installed in yours, Csaba?
Thank you,
Greg

If otherwise in well-calibrated and good operating?condition, and in a stable environment, about once-a-year tuning is pretty typical. Much like a piano.

Hi All,
?
I am going to unsubscribe because I sold my CS80 a couple of years ago.? I am not a tech and it was very needy and hard to move.? FYI, I sold it for $47,000.00 to some film person
out West.
?
Best of luck to all of you.? These are amazing instruments.

Idk, I have tuned a few CS80:s, including my own, and they've all been very stable. I moved mine 6 floors (carry, no elevator) and it was perfectly in tune afterwards. I think it's just a story that has stuck for some reason.?

Honestly it should have gone for more. ?Selling the dream of owning a CS-80 with a view of downtown Los Angeles is right out of the film Blade Runner. ?This experience is completely priceless.?

Hi. I have had 3 CS80s in the studio, once they have settled in for a few days, I do the complete calibration. I calibrated all three once a year, but just to get the beats the way I like them, otherwise they were playable without problems. In the last ten years I have only kept one, since I moved to the seaside, I thought I would have problems, but once the tuning has been done , I repeat it for my pleasure, just once a year.
