Filled epoxy in it, drilled and sanded after drying. (see picture). I tried Gordon's superglue trick first. Not for the faint of heart, I wouldn't do it a 2nd time, and certainly not with a long rod. The &%ç&! rod nearly stuck in there for good, and after I managed to remove it the remaining glue was too thin to do any good. So I had this idea of the "glue wedge". (Should work with solder too.). That specific key is now silent, no end play, just as it should be. Thank you all for brainstorming. Listening to other people's experience and guidance is always a good and inspiring thing. Politicians should consider that too. -- Ben
