Hi --
Just a few thoughts...
You might not like this comment, but is it really worth rescuing an inexpensive keyboard from 2003? If you enjoy reviving 20+ year old electronics, that's one thing. Might be time to cut your losses, save time, and buy a new PSR E-series instrument.
If the resistors are rusted, then the keyboard may have been abused (e.g., gotten wet, exposed to moisture for a long time). Definitely not a good sign and the keyboard may not be reliable in the future.
Instead of replacing resistors individually, maybe find a second hand (used) PSR-172 and use it for parts? The keybed printed circuit board usually plugs in and out.
I wish you good luck -- pj
