Yamaha CS80

The idea is this,

If we have success with a VCO run then it will be alot easier to get 
Yamaha to do VCF's and so on.

As for price,

They won't say. But the question is this:  

What is a reasonable price for a VCO. How much do you think it would 
cost right now to get hold of just one 153. There are guy's in the 
UK now who are buying CS5's for £200 ( $400 ) just to get the one 
VCO out of it to put in their CS80. I could be just wasting my time 
here, trying to get this done. But one thing is for sure, a CS80 
with a voice out is a 200lb door stop. This is why I am trying to 
get some big names on the list who may want more than one set. The 
other problem is that analouge costs more in the EU than the US most 
of the time. So there is that to compeat with too.

As for me,

I am down to my last few 153's and I still have 16 CS80's to get 
done. :(
