Yamaha CS80

I feel exactly the same stephen... mine still has some issues, one 
oscillator is still out a semitone or two (really annoying) and i have some 
hum issues on the effects section, also my fine tune knob is not working 
right and some other little things... but i do love the beast to death..
I plan to get it tolex'd at some point soon and hope to get the remaining 
problems resolved at the same time, then ill be a very happy camper.. 

> It�s a wonderful instrument which is ultimately rewarding to use because it�s so musical and so organic-sounding. I never felt too fond of any other famous analogue polysynth like a Jupiter 8, Synthex, Matrix 12, Memory Moog, what have you, after I got a CS80 but I hate the issues it has... I�d never sell mine, I�m happy to own one, but frankly, even though I had it overhauled by a CS expert in The Netherlands, it still isn�t up to where I want it to be. This is quite annoying, especially when you�re using your tools on a semi-pro level.
