Re: [vintagesynthrepair] Yamaha CP30 noise

2016-05-11 by Daniel Forró

Hi, Scott,


few weeks ago I have fully disassembled, cleaned and repaired non  
working CP35, these E pianos deserve to be used, the quality of the  
keyboard is just unbelievable for that time (the same as on my CS80) -  
I have disassembled it as well. Yamaha even used very small pieces of  
plastic for keys which sit lower, to balance the key level! I didn't  
know and almost lost them... My instrument had more issues but now  
it's fully working.


I'm afraid I can't give any advice  concerning CP30, available Service  
manual (in two parts) is not so good as that one for CP35 and circuits  
I can see are different than in CP35.


Best regards!


Daniel Forro
