The keys on mine are beyond redemption after too many
alcoholic clean-ups. Now, I only have 3 or 4 working
keys!!! This dead key problem is a real curse. The
keys are the most important and vulnerable external
part on a synth.
In my view, this was a real design fault from Korg. 
At the time, Roland made a much better decision by
using proper metal/metal contacts on the Junos. I have
had a juno6 for donkeys years and never ever had once
a sinlge bad key. It just does the job a hell lot
better than stupid carbon rubbers.  



It makes an otherwise *not so bad* keyboard into a
completely useless, unwanted Must buy the carbon-paste
repair kit thingy.
