Vintage Synth Repair

Hello:I had the same thing happen to me,I just vacuumed out the case the 
best I could and took a rag and rubbed the rest of the loose sticky stuff 
off the best I could,I also used a putty knife in some spots,then I went to 
a craft store and bought some foam rubber in big pieces about the same 
thickness as the original foam and cut it to fit the keyboard and glued it 
in over the sticky residue that was still in the case,its a messy job thats 
best done outdoors,but it worked out ok.
Regards,
Tim K.
