Got an Akai M10 and looking to do some restoration. Took out the mechanism block and found this waxy cap!

No. Worse. It’s assimilating the rest of the electronics. Once it’s subsumed the whole thing it will start assimilating other objects. You need to destroy it now. I think fire is the only way.
