So, I took the machine apart and tried what vhs doctor suggested, but the issue still persisted. Then I came to the conclusion that the squeaking noise is coming from somewhere in the loading ring assembly. The P2 and P3 tape guides are sitting on top of these two plastic rings which turn in opposite directions when the tape in lacing/unlacing, and the noise is created whilst spring-tension is being applied onto the guides to lock them in place in the fully laced position. Do I have to tear the chassis down into bits in order to lubricate this assembly?
