I heard from a tech that a CP-30 was a good source because had identical key contacts, so I bought one and tried to use it for that purpose.  However, the tech turned out to be incorrect, as the CS-80 uses a side-by-side pair of contacts per key, while the CP-30 only has one contact per key, and the contacts are immovably fixed in the plastic mold.

Mitchell,

let us know if you find something, but I'd bet that none of the CS-80's keybed parts were used on any other synth :(
