Thank you.. They were a bit tight to get off that way. Wont be playing with them too much till I've got the replacement pbt caps.

Getting rid of the shakey wire sound on the large cap's stabilizers will be something I'll try. I heard cling/sandwich wrap works to quieten the stabilizers. Applying a few layers neatly on the wire to dull the vibrating.

If it works well Ill be sure to post pics of work done

Krytox

To be more specific, Originative sells a Krytox lubricant mix over here: http://www.originativeco.com/collections/accessories/products/lube-kit

You won't find it cheaper. It's difficult to buy Krytox in small amounts and you'll inevitable end up with much more than you need for a single keyboard.
