Fixing damage to laquered woodwork

2001-07-11 by The Old Crow

OK, an odd question, but aimed at the DIY enclosure-builders on the
list:

  I recently got in a keyboard that has been in storage for at least ten
years.  During that time, the foam lining of the Anvil flight cabinets has
deteriorated, creating a sort of oily, gooey mess that has adhered to
areas of the instrument's woodwork.  I need a way to remove the gunk with
a minimum of damage to the varnish/laquer.  If this was just a couple of
wood end pieces I would not be concerned; however, this instrument is
wrapped entirely in mahogany and I can hardly set it up in the living room
as a piano while 30% of it looks like the surface of a putt-putt golf
course.

  Any suggestions welcome; please email privately.

  FYI, here is the instrument in question:
