Yamaha CS80

Hi again guys.

I have made a stand from 12 mill plywood that runs around the sides 
and back of my 80 and has two shelves for some of my other gear. My 
question is, although there is space ABOVE the vent slots on the left 
hand side (power suppy)- a good 4 inches, because it has been 'walled 
in' so to speak, it gets quite warm in there. How much ventilation 
does an 80 require, and if it IS slightly restricted might that 
improve the tuning stability?

I could always install a small fan to blow the hot air away if need 
be.

Cheers.
TOM

Tom,

I don't know about the heat issue, but it would be great if you 
could post a picture, or two, of the stand you built.  I've been 
thinking about building something similar, so I'd like to see what 
other people have done.  

What are other people using, other than the Yamaha stand?

Hi David.

I'll dig out my digital camera an put a couple of shots into our 
photo section here. I'll post when they're in there.

Cheers.
TOM
