The slow restoration of #851.	Be careful when cleaning the brass	track selector or the nickel plating will come off.
The slow restoration of #851.	Assembled (kind of) keyboard.	After some experimentation I cleaned the keys with a lightly damp cloth and then with a hard gum eraser. Sanding is far too drastic.
