CS80 keyboard contacts

CS80 keyboard contacts

2016-06-06 by marcmarc@...

Hello CS80 lovers,

I'm working on a CS80 repair in Amsterdam.
The keyboard contacts are very bad.
Anybody knows where I could obtain replacements?

Best regards,

Marc

Marc, Tim Conniff says the contacts are very hard to find, people have salvaged what there is and are holding on to them.  Tim also states he is working on an exact replica of the contacts (one octave), but he cautions it will be a while before they're available.  Sorry I don't have better news here, finding a parted-out CS-80 may be the best way to go but those are nearly as hard to find in the US and Japan as they are in Europe.  I'll keep my eyes open, would be good to have some myself.  Kent Spong would be another good person to ask (another yahoo group member).  VR, scott
