They'll probably sent you a 3D printing file for a replacement :-)

My Moog Sub-37 has the same problem with both mod wheels. I hadn’t touched it in a few years. Unplayable, and cleaning didn’t really help. (Tried soap, IPA, windex.) I also have a Subsequent-37 CV and it has no such problems. So I contacted Moog and they are aware of the problem. They hope to have a solution for me in a few months.

I've had to clean binoculars, keypads and TV remotes so far (using just about everything in the house, including just scraping a lot of it off). I think alcohol was about the best, both for me and the cleaning.

Various alcohols will clean it off, but then the microphone won’t be suitable for any form of hand-holding, and you’ll need a good anti-vibration mounting which makes removing it a bit pointless.
