“No intro needed for this synth. A beast of a machine! Gnarly and beautiful. The world is your oyster with this classic synth.
It’s just had a full recap, been calibrated and it’s had a new VCA ic changed in the last month by an engineer who works as a boffin at Funky Junk and is the technical manager at RAK studios.
Sounds lovely!
When I bought this machine there had been some modifications which you can see. The seller didn’t know exactly what they were for but I have made some inspections and made sure these are turned off and so are now non functional. I believe they may have activated the various sections for the presets.
Looks wise, she’s not in mint condition but really not that bad either. She’s had a couple of knocks to the case and theres some marks on the synth which I’m hoping the photos show. No legs either, I’m afraid. UK plug.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“This CS50 is absolutely beautiful, meticulously refurbished by us and in exceptional physical condition as well as excellent working order, unlike most. This process required approximately 20 hours of skilled labor. The power supply was rebuilt as a precautionary measure, in an effort to extend this units life well beyond others you may find. Tuning trimpots were replaced to make tuning much easier and more stable. Logic ICs were replaced for longterm reliability. Oscillators were calibrated so this instrument is properly in tune. All key contacts were cleaned. All pots were cleaned and lubed.”

“Has a small chip on front right and rear left, but all keys and pressure is working and is in very good order for such an old vintage synth. Been cleaned up from storage and plugging in and noodled around and all functions and controls appear to be fine. Could likely do with a tune up or once over but hard for me to tell, yet all functionality appears in good order – happy to demonstrate on pick up. Only selling due to moving and will not have space to play or store.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

Yamaha CS-50
For sale is a rare Yamaha CS-50 vintage analog synthesizer. This CS50 is in incredible condition. Hardly any signs of wear. It comes from the original owner and spent a majority of its life tucked away, and the condition shows how little it has been played. It comes complete with original manual, original foot-pedal (and soft-case for the foot-pedal) plus case lid and original legs. It’s fully functional and sounds excellent, a class synth. Being in such great condition it makes an excellent investment and should go up in value over time.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“This is a fully functioning clean synth! Comes with original manuals, ID Warranty card, and the original pedal with case and legs. The exterior case in in decent shape. It has some marks and dings. I had this synth serviced in Portland, Oregon by Control Voltage. It has been in my personal synth collection the last 10 years. It is missing one input volume knob on the back exterior panel. (see photo). You can still easily adjust the level. I babied this thing and it sounds amazing! I am offering 200$ shipping and insurance on this item. If you pick up the synth in person however, I will refund you 300 dollars off the sale price. I would much rather it picked up in person than shipped due to its age and value.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“This is my original purchase in 1976. I can make you a mp3 or video of it in operation. Comes with the original expression pedal.(Newer expression pedals will not work) This is the classic baby brother of the CS-80. Same sounds less voices. This is a 4 voice. Aftertouch, glissando/portamento switch adjustable time for notes or chords that can slide or gliss to other chords or notes. Very cool implementation. I have not been able to duplicate that in modern equipment.
This is heavy. With the cover on and the legs and accessories which all fit nicely in the cover to make this a brick house suitcase it weighs almost 80lbs.
Check out youtube for sound demos from other cs-50s. Great instrument. Works great. Sounds great. ” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“The CS-50 is known to be like the younger brother of the famous CS-60 and CS-80. The CS-50 is a more simple version of the CS-80. While having the same audio quality at a much lighter weight, the CS-50 is a 4 voiced polyphonic synthesizer with 49 note keyboard which also has after touch feature. The CS-50 has 13 presets of various instruments and a panel section which allows you to design your own sound. You can be sure to get the classic Yamaha sounds from this synth!!” Click here to search for synths on eBay
