Yamaha CS80

Allright....

you are going out on a limb there....

I advise you to keep it flat if shipping...

A.. it wont tip over and slam down the wrong way...

B.. All previous CS80 wrtings are against the "horizontal pot" thru
transferable vibration situation in a back edge situation of
travel....

I don't believe the plane of transportation has any effect. It 
doesn't matter in what plane the vibration comes in. It's just 
vibration itself in combination with the spring-force that's left 
inside the trimmers (the older, the less strong the trimmer-shaft 
makes contact).
If the casters were on another side, it would result in the same 
risks. Just carry the CS80 with two persons if thefloor is uneven.

I feel the older the synth gets, the more problems these trimmers 
cause (too less spring-force, dead spots). Most of the problems I 
had were caused by these trimmers (vca- adjustments for instance) 
Are these trimmers, or good new 1:1 replacements, still available, 
does anybody know ?
