Yamaha upright noises

[Dave Doremus]

I just got back from a warranty call to a school where a Yamaha WX1 
was squeaking like crazy. It turned out to be the plastic 
capstan/whip cloth interface, a serious application of powdered 
teflon stopped it. I'm wondering if anyone else has heard this and, 
if so, if it will come back. If it does I'm going to assume it has to 
do with the factory lubrication on the plastic parts, I'd have to 
take the keys and buff and relube the capstans. It was a loud noise 
and made the piano fairly useless for teaching.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
