[sdiy] Another cat pee mystery solved, Juno 106

[Metrophage]

My son isn't the only one who has loved my Juno, evidently. The key
scanning logic appeared to be fine, and Bob Weigel suggested it was the
key traces. I did not want to disassemble the keyboard! It wasn't too
difficult to do. It turned out that my parent's crazy cat had peed into
the edge of the keyboard, and the urine was corroding traces from the
board. A few jumpers later and it was fine. Now it is also very clean
and rust-free. I scrubbed, sanded, enameled, re-taped the entire
keyboard frame. Good as ever!

That cat has caused me a lot of trouble, I'm still finding damage to
repair. If she ever tried that when one of these bits of gear were on,
maybe she would have been zapped out of the habit. Story has it that
since she was spayed that this behavior ceased.

Still a few mod ideas bouncing around, and research to do.
