Saving the Yamaha CS-80 (2) The Power Supply


YouTube via gavincurtis. Part 1 appears to be missing from the series.

"Beginning of a series of videos showing the ground up restoration of my ailing CS-80.

Working CS-80's are playing music on borrowed time as their 70's era MOS, armaddas of deteriorating digital IC's and leaky electrolytic capacitors take their toll on these grand machines.

This video series will show how to keep CS-80's playing well into the next generation of musicians as each circuit board is restored and recalibrated. It will be a long journey starting here with the power supply.

CS-80 restoration parts used in these videos will be available as kits soon. Please come back for details and updates as this project continues."

VINTAGE 1982 MOOG SYNTH RARE KEYBOARD CATALOG

via this auction

"4 page foldout shows all models with detailed descriptions."

Not the best shots, but some interesting bits in this. Anyone know what the synth is that looks like The Source minus keys? Note the modular systems in the bottom shot. When did Moog stop making them?

Update via jabrockson in the comments "Moog DSC (Digital Sequential Controller). I don't know how many (if any) hit the market."

Jomox JaZBase 03 1U Drum Synthesizer

via this auction

Not the best shots, but you don't see these often.

"The Jomox JaZBase 03 is a very convenient device: the
percussion sounds of an Xbase but in a 1U rack device.

This is almost identical to the Airbase 99: bass drum, snare drum, hi and low toms, hats, clap, rim shot, crash and ride. Bass, snare and toms are all analog, like with everything Jomox.

The spare samples in the AirBase 99 are different in the JaZBase for a unique edge: 24 acoustic drum samples - very nice for the junglists out there. The JaZBase has adjustable start points for each sample as well - very nice. The 808 hats are still here in the JaZBase so do not fear. "

Thank You Rain
