another tip...if I may?

I recall Fred mentioning "sanding" let-off buttons, and he may/may not have
mentioned this:

Steam the cloth (not so much as to remove them though!) with damp cloth and
iron, then press hard with the dry warm iron.

The SD-10 I tried this on had soft/spongy cloth, and if I recall, the
punchings went from 4mm to 3mm, and are firm with a clarified shape, but not
hard so as to produce noise.

Again; old part / new characteristics
