Damper Spoon Polishing/coating

[Paul McCloud]

I have found that on some uprights the spoons have dug holes in the
lifter felt.  The symptom of sluggish keys didn't go away until I found
that the spoons had a coating of something the same color as the lifter
felt (usually green).  Using a water based cleaner on a slender piece of
cloth (shoeshine style), I was able to remove the residue from the
spoons.  Kind of a trick to get the cloth between the spoons and damper
levers.  Then spray the spoons with your favorite lube.  Of course,
replacement of the felt would be best.  FWIW.
