Thank you Kyle! Now that you say it, I think I have done it on the CS-50, 
too. But that has been ages ago, and the CS50 only cost me the equivalent of 
300 Dollars. :) So I thought I better be sure before taking any risk on the 
'80!

Thanks for your nice words. Yes, I love to modiy and also to share the mods.
But for the near future, it will be all the other way round: taking all the 
advice I can get from the experts on this list to fix all the little bugs.
I'm glad the synth is in such a great shape overall, and especially on the M 
boards, and holds its tuning.
With a little help of my friends here, I'll certainly fix the other things.

What a great list this is!

JH.
