Cleaning up a korg emx1 - help please

lol I already bled all the oils out of mine by baking them to release the chainsmoker smell and my fucking front of the house smelled like Las Vegas for 2 days but I got all the smoker tar to come out and scrubbed it off then neutralized the remaining odor with white vinegar/water. Really impoved the smell but nothing made the pads look better. Ronald mcdonald orange.

Anyways thanks again, I’ll watch some videos and maybe I can go for the one shade lighter like a crest white strips stage 1 kinda deal.

Jokes on you, now you can’t get a little contact high from playing your Electribe.

I believe you can still buy new silicon buttons from Korg, at least you could a few years back, might be worth a try?

Yes >> Korg Keys & Key Contacts | Parts Is Parts - Guitar Parts, Amplifier Parts, Korg Keyboard Parts

But the cost would quickly ramp up if I were to order stuff over here (Finland) from the States … : /

Maybe you can get someone to tape one on the side of a trans-Siberian railway car?

Came out pretty good. She shiny af >>

BUT … up arrow got wedged, so I have to re-open the thing for the third time (three layers of screws, yay). But still, really pleased with the result - some stuff I couldn’t fix, like cutoff pot is almost destroyed (why didn’t they use bolts for these!?) and some permanent worn out marks here and there.
