[sdiy] cleaning JD800 key mechanism from epoxy glue

[Stewart Pye]

IIRC Roland were supplying complete keyboards at a reasonable cost if 
they suffered from this issue. I had a JD800 in for repair that had 
already had the keyboard replaced with the non dodgy glue type so they 
would only supply the keypad to repair the problem of some keys not working.

Regards,
Stewart.

The synth receives and plays midi so I guess it will work ok once I refurbish the keyboard.
