[pianotech] wax in grand action

Just picked up an action from a 1987 Baldwin R which has had a large pillar
candle melted down into the action.  Just looking to find out if anyone has
dealt with anything like this before.  The hammers and backchecks got the
worst of it, but the back of the keys and the felt under the keys are also
affected.

My plan is to scrape as much wax off as possible and see if sanding the keys
will clean them up sufficiently.  It looks to me like the hammers and
backchecks will have to be replaced, but thought I'd see if anyone has any
ideas.

Thank you in advance for any advice.
