Time to fess up - I'm sure most of you have done it at one time or
another. I'm talking about spilling pop, coffee, etc, into your
keyboard.  I just recently spilled some root beer into mine. I tried
cleaning it as soon as it happened, but apparently didn't get it all
because my left shift key, the 1 key and the control key are sort of
sticky. What I mean is: they go down readily enough, but come back up
in slow motion. I tried everything short of pulling the caps off to
clean it, but nothing seems to help.

I guess the only thing left is to pull the caps off.  What's the best
way to do this without ruining the keyboard? I have a standard ADB
keyboard (the older style, not the newer LC style) attached to my SE.

Thanks in advance,
    -Ken K
