For quick and effective, first check to see that the keys are not binding at the center pins. Do the balance rail holes need eased? When you lift the keys slightly at the front, do they fall back down under their own weight? Sometimes, just cleaning and polishing the balance and front rail pins (and capstans), then lubricating them with slip spray or McLube will do the trick. Another quick and effective solution is to use teflon powder on the knuckles and whippen cushions. This has been known to reduce touch weight significantly! I have serviced many SG-155s and have seldom had to do more than mentioned above.
