I just acquired a Yamaha CS-15.

It sure is cool, but it will need some work.

Where would one send such a thing for servicing?

Would an authorized dealer be able to help, as it is from the late 70's and obviously no longer made?

Any other helpful hints??

Please?

No, actually.

Mine is in prtty good condition as well, really.In fact it looks pristine. I think it just needs a good internal cleaning, like anything that has been in storage for 10+ years would.

I just am afraid to do it on my own, as my experience with hardware synths is very, very limited.

I love my cs-15 to death - honestly, hands down my favorite monosynth that I have

dunno about cleaning it, but I'd follow those links and see what they turn up

yeah, i had a CS15 which I acquired in exchange for a C64! It was my first synth, and I used to play it live, reprogramming on-the-fly. The only thing I ever thought it lacked were self-oscillating filters, like all the CS series.

Mine was nicked from our rehearsal room in Liverpool (joining my 808, quadraverb, a cry-baby etc...). I'd still like to replace it

Take it down to Good Guys, John- they're on Grand in St. Paul. They're excellent with old synths, as well as tube amp mods and repairs...
