The grommets may look good, but be bad.

<DIV>Greetings,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> On a used
Cable Nelson spinet, the upper treble keys click. Upon
investigation, it seems to be coming from the <EM>rear</EM> 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?
</DIV>
