Hi

I've been refurbishing a Triton Extreme I bought a month ago. I took apart the keybed, cleaned and regressed with lithium grease. Everything was great for a few days.

After a few days, however, the rubber at the front of each of the white keys started to cause many (not all) keys to get stuck, or return very slowly. I checked that it wasn't the lubrication at the hammer. It was definitely the front rubber. (Interestingl,y not the black keys though, although I'd treated them exactly the same way.)

Tried silicone lubricant. This made it worse.

So I took each key off again, cleaned again more, and tried either just silicone lubricant, lithium grease, and nothing on different keys to see if this would make any difference. The results were utterly random. Keys would work freely, then not. If anything, silicone lubrication made things worse.

So now I have a keybed which some keys bounce back nicely, others are painfully slow, and others just completely and utterly stuck.

HELP!!!!!!!!

Update. I'm absolutly certain now it is the rubber 'guides' for each key. They have somehow expanded. (Was it the white lithium grease?) So I am utterly at a loss as to what to do now!
