Phil,

I don't think that Imadegawa were treated with acetone and keytops. I think that the press they used to make them was just TOO HOT and with too much pressure. The felt is dead on these screamers. I would try vodka on the strike point 2 drops to start with. It might take time, but should make it sound a little better, for now... As for the real solution... just replace them period
