Keys warped and toughing at the back under the capstans?

It's 34 years since I began servicing pianos, and today I saw yet another 
first.  Let's see if you can guess what it was.  The last six or seven bass 
keys were sluggish on an Acrosonic spinet.  The keys were not tight on the 
balance or front rails, the action was totally free, and the key slip was 
not butting up against the keys.  Why were the keys sluggish?
