Several of the keys on this keyboard require excessive

rubber, however it appears that the rubber has increased in resistance.
The pads either wear or "dry out" or something, never worked out which.
I talked a mate of mine through repairing some vintage synthesizers
which use conductive pads for the control panel (Sequential Six-Trak,
Alesis drum machine and sequencer) by taking the panel apart and
painting a blob of silver-loaded paint for repairing heated rear windows
in cars. The bottle was a couple of pounds from Halfords, and probably
cheaper in your local independant motor factors. A tiny bottle lasts
for ages because you only need a little spot.
