Yamaha CS80

Hello all, Scott here (synthRodriguez) and new to the group.

I recently bought a CS80 project machine which will soon receive attention. One of the black keys took a hit at some point; it has a pretty good chunk out of it.

Would someone have a spare they would be willing to sell?

Thanks!

Hi Scott.

Welcome to the group!  When I read your question, my first reaction was “not a chance!”.   However, I thought of a couple of possibilities.  First, the guys at Studio Electronics (http://studioelectronics.com <http://studioelectronics.com/>) dismantled / dismembered a CS80 many years ago for a project to portablize it.  It was never finished and they sold most of the guts on eBay about a year ago.  They might still have some of the keys around.  Another idea, assuming you’re just talking about the plastic key top, is to get a cheap 3-D printer and make a new one!  If you scanned the existing ones and could print up new ones, you might even have a nice, little business!

Good luck,

  David

I have to depart with my CS80.

Good shape, everything works. Some maintenance, tuning and setting can make it even better.  Original stand, pedal, score stand, wheels in original soft case. Original Owner’s manual, Service Manual & big folders full of other documents printed from internet.

11111 USD, buyer has to arrange pick up and delivery.

I’m in Japan near Nagoya.

Best regards.
