There has been some disparate discussion of this in the past.  Perhaps  
we could pull together our best procedures on this matter.

The subject is a Wurlitzer from Korea.  Silver dust under the weights  
in the keys on the keybed and keyframe.  Leads are not protruding out  
of the key (yet).

Do you moist wipe off the loose stuff, bag the towels, and than seal  
the lead from the air with some sort of paint/sealer?

Is replacement necessary?

Ideas?
