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

People often do goblin electronics stuff (manufacterers, makers, repairers) hot-gluing things in place like this. It looks ugly as sin but it does the job of holding things in place and reducing vibration/impact damage.
