I had the same problem with my Crumar Stratus, but mine was probably a
lot worse than yours is as most of the actual keys had been melted by
paint stripper thanks to the previous owner. My solution was to
completely remove the keyboard and replace it with one out of an old
Yamaha (much better quality). This is probably a bit too radical for
your T1 though. The idea that I had before I decided to replace the
keyboard was to use the wire wound "E" string from a guitar cut to a
suitable length soldered in place of the damaged springs, it should
work OK I think, but I can't promise as I never got round to trying it
myself.

The drawbar can probably be fixed with a very light smear of silicone
grease, but only use a very small amount.

As for the casing maybe something like plastic wood or car body filler
to fill any holes, and a bit of carefully applied spray paint, but
make sure you mask anything you don't want painted.

I hope my suggestions are of some help to you ... best wishes Les
