Problems with T1 sticky buttons

I have a T1 that works beautifully, however when I opened it for use this evening the three "editing control" buttons and the "Phantom Power" button all feel very mushy, and the rubber sticks to my fingers. All other buttons seem to be fine. When I pushed one of the buttons to make a selection, it actually left my fingerprint in the top.

I am afraid to touch or do anything more. Please let me know how i can fix them, or if they can be replaced and how I get new buttons. Is this an ongoing problem? I store it in my closet when not in use, so it is not exposed to extreme heat or cold.

i live in Colombia south america

Thanks,

same for me the buttons all feel very mushy, and the rubber sticks to my fingers

Had a same problem and took the advice from this forum (just searched sticky buttons):

Pull out sticky buttons (only "Editing Controls" not phantom power) from the mixer, take isopropyl alcohol wipe/swab and rub it until you get off the sticky layer.

You will end up with nice smooth hard plastic layer.

You would need to disassemble ToneMatch to get to "Phantom power switch".

Enjoy.

I recently removed all of the sticky buttons from my T1 and cleaned them with Ballistol Universal Oil and a clean dry cotton cloth...

Easier than using isopropyl alcohol.
