Yamaha CS-80 on Ebay

Okay, a CS-80 is cool enough in itself, but the seller claims this one toured with Cameo (although, if that is true, it really seems like it should come with a shiny, red codpiece...)

Man, can you imagine being a roadie back in the days when keyboardists regularly traveled with stuff like this?

This guy I know, who used to be a tour engineer back in the day, told me the thing was not just extra-heavy, but also tended to totally detune after any transportation. Modern kids just don't get it at all -- my 6 yo niece after switching from a PSR to a real piano, couldn't grasp it needs tuning for some time;)

I about coughed up my heart when I saw the price tag. OK- vintage and limited edition and whatnot - fine - but holy crap.
