what grease/oil to lubricate vcr transport?

[[email protected]]

I recently purchased a well used Panasonic AG-1970 S-VHS VCR. Thing
works great except for the noise produced while loading and unloading
tapes. Sounds to me like the tape loading portions of the transport
are in need of some grease. Question is, what grease or oil should I
be using for this task?

Assuming its not clicking noises or squeels, ie just normal but exagerated
mechanical movement noises, then I've only ever used silicone grease

Machine lubricate oil, cheap at Wal-mart. They also sell brain stimulator.

I came across this awhile ago when I was looking to do a VCR repair. See
info for 'GC Electronics White Lithium Lubricant'. It's about 3/4 of the way
down this page on the right hand side. Also a lot of tools and parts for
VCR's. I don't have personal experience ordering from them, so you're on
your own.
