I've got a now (very) old Korg MS20 monophonic synthesizer, have had it for years and did a fair amount of work with it in my yoof. Amongst all of the keyboards I've owned at one time or another, it's the only one I've kept and I like to drag it out occasionally and play with the oscillators and pretend I'm still a musician!
I was alarmed to find recently that a couple of the keyboard keys are not contacting properly - so the sound is either absent or crackles. I'm guessing its a mixture of dust and corrosion (don't want to think about the beers and sweat that would have found its way into it) so will likely need to clean the contacts and perhaps the odd pot while I've got the back off.
I'm comfortable enough with taking it apart, but was wondering what the best approach to cleaning the electronic contacts (and pots) would be?
cheers
