Hello everyone. I recently acquired this VCR (model number in the title) and it's working well except there's this squeaking sound every time the machine finishes the lacing/tape loading cycle. You can hear it in this video:

I haven't done any work at the bottom of the mechanism and I suspect something needs to be lubricated in there. The same noise is produced when returning from forward/reverse search back to play. Any suggestions before taking the machine apart would be appreciated.

PS: The more common UK model that uses this chassis is the Ferguson 3V35. Mine is the multi system JVC version. Other than that they are identical.
