[GreenKeys] 14 keyboard replacing ley lever?

[John W9DDD]

And I forgot my other question, which is really more generic.  What to do about missing felt wicks on shafts without tearing things apart if you do have the felts.  I was pondering unwaxed floss.  Multiple wraps and tie a knot?  Hopefully someone has a better idea.

I'll look at parts doc, but I'm guessing at this point that any of the middle row key levers are the same?  So the new key lever could be from the easy end of the donor keyboard.
