Hi all, I am about to take apart my “road” S90ES for the second time in its ten-year life. The two octaves of keys above middle C have gotten to the point where they feel like I am driving a truck without power steering. They don’t “stick” just take extra force to play. This keyboard lives in a case in my band trailer so is subject to temp and humidity issues. It also lived for a while on my “yacht” while I lived aboard for a couple of years. I am hoping cleaning her up again (keyboards are girls, right?) will help this. What I need to ask: What is the “lube” used for the keys. I didn’t replace any last time, but this time I think I will have to as I intend to remove all old lube. Any links for cleaning info that one has found useful? Is there a decent substitute available at say a “Radio Shack” or similar electronics store? Or do I have to use the internet to order? What does one use to remove the old lube? Just a clean rag? Looks like I will have to use my other in-home S90ES for next weeks gigs. I am too old and feeble to play this hard. Thanks to all. Brad |
