Part needed

Part needed

2008-09-09 by zenithaudio2003

Hi everyone ! 

I need some parts to restore a cs-80 . 
The synth was modified in the 80's by synthedata . The problem is that 
it as been stored in a barn for 15 years because the synthedata system 
was dead. The owner as sadly lost the synthedata controler so the 
system was unusable. 

Some boards are missing . The tone selector assembly , the four row 
user memory assembly (pn1.mbk), card T51 and t53 . 

So, does someones as parts to sell ? Or can link me to someone that 
as . (Ps: i will not sell any of the parts !)

So this means there was at least one synthedata-system produced ? I 
thought it was a hoax.
Can't help you with these parts however.

Wow - the Synthdata (www.keyboardmuseum.com/ar/s/syda/syda.html) really 
existed??  Do you at least have some schematics for it so you know how 
it was wired into the CS80?

Paging Kent...     Good luck, though. I can't imagine the amount of work 
it will take to find the parts and rewire it. And then fix all the 
problems!  With it so torn up, I'd definitely re-cap / replace CMOS 
chips while you're doing the work.

As sad as it sounds, I'd probably go this way :(   If you do part it 
out, I'd be up for some of the boards and a lot of the hardware / case.

Good luck and keep us up to date with your progress.

good luck and my hopes are with you and the restoration....


but, I also can't help other than by purchasing a couple of  M
Cards....

that is......If you later decide to part the board out later
on.........


The board looks to be quite a project to undertake.......and I hope
you luck out with a CS80 miracle......-----Original message-----

Hello Nicolas,
What a travesty to see the CS-80 in that state. Sacrébleu!
Seems like you have a Herculean Task before you.I hope you can get her all back together. 
 
I agree with David, it made me ill to see those pictures.
 
I hope we can hear some sounds from the reconstructed beast once you get it up and running.
 
Tommy
 
p.s. : Can someone give us more info about the Synthdata project?
