Yamaha CS80

I'm still trying to ascertain if my ribbon is going to 'come good', it's semi-functioning state being my reason to look into this. I certainly wouldn't intend on taking away any business from Kent, but I was just hoping to replace my possibly busted ribbon with the exact same component, gold plating and all that good stuff.

I'll let you know how it goes, I was thinking to just get 10 or so springs and take it from there.  I spoke to a manufacturer last week and it seems feasible.  I'm still trying to get a price on the gold plating.

cheers,
N
