Via the listing: "It is not mint condition. However, the bulk of the cosmetic wear & tear is on the exterior of the case. On the console there is a slight ink smear near the tuning control. The other flaws are as follows:
Organ 1 preset lamp is out.
String 2 preset lamp is out.
Volume pot is a bit scratchy. I cleaned it with a bit of silicone spray and it is much better. I'd replace it except it's a tricky value to find in a 1 watt dual ganged pot (A20K).
Does not have legs or pedals.
New casters, 3 new caster sockets. I didn't replace the last one because it was too close to the electronics to risk sticking bid metal hand tools.
Needs a tuning. I have printed a copy of the owners manual, and also the manual for the tuning procedure.
Serial #A00769
The synth has been in my possession for the past 20 years. Mostly in storage, with some occasional playing. Every knob, button, switch, is fully functional, save for the two lamps and the (not very) scratchy volume pot. It's been plugged in & allowed to warm up, & I've tested every preset and panel control. I have not attempted to do the complete tuning because I simply do not have the time. Anyone familiar with the CS-80 is aware of the necessary tuning one must do every so often, as well as it's highly delicate electronics. (This is why I will not ship. That, and weighing about 200 lbs.) Supposedly this was the synth used by Jefferson Starship in the late 70's but I have no idea if that's actually true or not.
Feel free to send me any questions. Happy bidding!"
