Vintage Synth Repair

Sounds like you've got good advice from the others on replacing the rubber grommets.

As for the spring contacts and buss bars, I HIGHLY recommend "Deoxit" contact cleaners.  You can get them at Radio Shack.  Spray on, then work the heck out of the keys.  After using other products with so-so results for years, this stuff is incredible on Mini's.!  Works great on the panel switches too.
