What are folks' favorite methods for freeing up stick keys? My Apple III was
in storage for a number of years and it looks like the lubricant congealed.
I really don't want to blindly start spraying control cleaner in if there's
a better approach.
If control cleaner is recommended, do I try to pry off the keycaps (risks
breaking things on a 30 year old computer) or just aim between them?
I think that spraying contact cleaner or 90% isopropyl alcohol would
be a fine approach, followed by working the key(s) while wet.
It may take a second, lighter application to clear up any lubricant that
finds its way to the contacts.
