We need to scrape off the paint that is on the key-bars underneath the crossbar.  This way, the key-bars can make electrical contact with the circuitry we will be attaching to the crossbar.

Using a folded-up wad of paper, prop the crossbar up and out of the way.  Then, use a Dremel grinding tool to gently sand away the paint on the key-bars underneath, revealing the shiny metal.  Be careful to avoid any springs that may be attached near the crossbar, because the Dremel will cut through them easily, and trust me -- they are hard to replace!  Use a metal file, sandpaper, or even a utility knife to scratch away the paint in areas near springs, or in any other hard-to-reach areas.
