"This Yamaha CS 60 is in perfect functional condition and comes complete with the travel case lid, an original stand and Yamaha carrying bag for the stand.The tolex is in nice shape with no evidence of brittleness or flaking common with 35 year old synths. The buckles, clasps, and edge protectors are still shiny as is the stand with no evidence of rust or pitting. All knobs and slider pots are static free and slide very freely. The ribbon controller is perfect- no bumpiness or ruptured springs underneath.The aftertouch is extremely responsive just like it was in 1977. Many CS 60/80s that are sold without stands have bottom damage to the tolex and grates. The bottom of this unit is in great shape as evidenced by the photo. Many CS 60s were organ donors for the older brother, the CS 80. This is not the case with this synth. It was very well cared for and maintained and is is perfect tune. It was never gigged. Consequently, it does not suffer from road rash...
