Yamaha CS80

Don't forget: if you power up the PS disconnected from the synth, you 
need to jumper the 2 sense inputs (+8.5v and -6.5v I think) to their 
respective outputs or things will be bad!  And, since the PS is linear 
(not switching) you could bring it up on a variac after you replace the 
caps and stuff.
