Does it smell?  This sounds to me like WD- 40 contamination.  WD - 40
is more-or-less Diesel oil.  Some "less experienced" in this field use
it for anything that should move.  Should be kept out of pianos.


Ralph -

 I didn't check the smell. Whoever did this seems to have at least made a
neat job of it - there's no sign of it being slobbered all over the parts.
I'd think that anyone with enough know-how to do that neat a job would have
the sense not to use WD-40 on it.
