Exactly what I found a couple of years ago, one key on a keyboard that had a
rough enough surface on the capstan for the problem to show up.  First time I
had noticed, or known to notice (these are sometimes interrealted as the
years roll by).  I also had great success once the burr was smoothed.  In
addition, I checked through the other keys and found a few that were not so
bad to be a problem yet but that might have becoma a problem with a little
more depression worn in the wippen cushion, so I smoothed those out as well.
  Enjoyed your post, thanks.
