Soundgas's video: Yamaha CS-80 Wakes Up After 30 Years

Soundgas Head Synth Tech James Walker testing this Yamaha CS-80 that has been in dry storage for almost 30 years. Remarkably, large parts of it are functioning. This CS-80 is for sale by auction on soundgas.com, ending Dec 13th 2022 - further details and photos on the listings: http://bit.ly/3VOp8dx There is a second CS-80 for sale from the same owner that is in what can only be described as 'barn-find' condition - see our other video for that (warning: not for those of a nervous disposition or who don't like rust and decay...). IMPORTANT: We strongly recommend you DO NOT turn on an old synth that has been left for this amount of time. You may well damage it, and it could also be electrically unsafe. James is a qualified technician with a degree in electronics and more than 25 years' experience working on this gear (as you'll see as works to find faults in this 100kg monster without any manual or schematic...). - See all our gear for sale at https://soundgas.com/ - Follow us for daily short demos and first look at our new gear: https://www.instagram.com/soundgasltd/ https://twitter.com/SuperSonicGear https://www.facebook.com/Soundgas.Ltd
