beautiful,thanks for the tip.

Ihad 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 theend of the capstan.

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