Hi Roman,

Molykote D is recommended for metal surfaces, as far as I understand. You should better look for a general purpose white silicon grease that is clearly specified for plastic lubrication. Molykote 44 Medium looks quite appropriate.

Hi, all!
I got the same problem with sticky keys on my proX. I wanted to solve it for al long time, but never did. Right now im taking it apart (according to the dissasembly guide). I made my way to the keyboard (which weighs about 16 kg(!) and is made by Yamaha…) and just disassembled the first octave.
Dissasembling is not as difficult as I expected, but I’m not sure if its possible to fix the sticky key problem just by cleaning… Also I’m still looking for some good grease like the “Klüberpaste” HaJo mentioned in his manual – perhaps someone else has some experience? If I succeed at last, I will let you know.

Of course I’m taking pictures all the way to share them in the web. For I don’t have a own website yet, I’m going to post it in the korg 01w yahoo group or send them to the ones interested.

Greets and Korg on

Hi Luis,
I don’t know the ProX model exactly but just would expect the mechanical construction to be more rugged due to the heavier keyboard. Nevertheless, things shouldn’t be too complicated in the end. If in doubt, you may download the ProX service manual from the 01/W group’s site at Yahoo; it contains detailed assembly instructions and views.

Regards,
Hajo
