deskthority

So... fibreglass shells from a mold made of a real ADM ? With less keys to make it look more teletype-y.

In the first pic, the curve at the bottom of the screen doesn't look smooth (though that could just be the angle, I guess).

You think it might be real ? I just copy/pasted part of their text into Google : so helpful. image from original post... http://bilder.hifi-forum.de/max/267431/cx5m_1004407.jpg location of STOP key https://images.prismic.io/yamahablackboxes/11dde75f-debe-4cf1-8e9c-13b7d538053d_yamahacx5m.png?auto=co...
