RE: [vintagesynthrepair] Sticky keys

I have had this problem professionally many times and the only right way to
do the job is to strip off the keys and clean them one at a time - I use
methylated spirits.

I have a Yamaha EX7 that someone spilled something onto the upper two
octaves of the keyboard. It's been like that for a while and I getting tired
of it. It's playable but causes slow key responce. What is a good cleaning
agent to use to spray (or pour) into the affected area to clean it up?
