Sticky keys on Yamaha SY77

[brinkwine]

Hello! I've got a > 15 yr old Yamaha SY77 2nd-hand, and some of the keys don't come up after being depressed.

Yamaha doesn't service this model anymore (-.-!!! grr), does anyone know what I can do to repair it? Or is this great beast as good as gone??

Sounds like it just needs a clean. It's probably had something spilt on it previously.

I'd screw it apart and clean everything. You might be able to remove the keybed and clean that separately in the sink.

hi widdly

i was hoping it was just that, as it hadn't been used for quite a few years i think, had to remove some insect fossils when i got it. hee.

don't know squat about keyboards, thanks for the advice.
