Clicking Keys in Cable Nelson spinet

[Fenton Murray]

Julia,
Teflon is good stuff around pianos and will rarely do harm. Although it may not solve your problem, it cost nothing (almost) to try. Why don't you like it?
If something is clicking, something is loose. Or, something is colliding. You just have to play detective. The fork in the key, the grommet in fork, the sticker in the flange, the knee bones connected to the thigh bone.
Keep the faith,
Fenton

  Try replacing one of the grommets on the worst offender.  The grommets may look good, but be bad.

    Greetings,

              On a used Cable Nelson spinet, the upper treble keys click. Upon investigation, it seems to be coming from the rear of the keysticks. I found a white powdery substance on the screws that are in the ends of the keys.  I think the prevoius tech sprayed teflon on them. I dislike using teflon, Is there any other remedy? The small rubber grommets/washers, where the adjusting threaded rods are, are not dried out. What to do? 

    Thanks in advance,
