We have successfully used TF solvent (available at electronics jobbers, etc) to clean Z-100 and other keyboards. You can often fix an individual stubborn key by squirting the stuff between keycaps and depressing the key repeatedly. WARNING: do NOT use a product called "Blue Shower" on keyboards. Even though the label claims it won't hurt electronic things, it dissolved the protective coating from a Z-158 keyboard we were cleaning; the gunk lodged in the keyswitches and we were out one keyboard. The TF sovent, though, never seems to hurt anything. -Ted Zateslo, FSU Geology Dept. Internet: zateslo@scri1.scri.fsu.edu
