Re: MK VI clicking sound

2006-02-04 by ceccles_ca

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.

P.S. Jerry, I'm the guy you met in 2001.
