I had a regular interval sound on the MK-VI just last week. It was
more of a squeek than a click. There is a ground wire connected to a
tab thingy that presses against the end of the capstan.

I put small touch of lubricant where the ground tab meets the
capstan. No more squeek! Of course I was careful not to get any lub
anywhere else on the capstan.
