Sony TC-K611S capstan motor noise

Hi,

I have a 12-year old Sony TC-K611S tape deck that has hardly been used, but the capstan motor has recently started making a noise when I turn the unit on. I searched the web and found a German site that has cataloged this problem, but one has to sign up to view the solution, and the sign-up involves installing an ActiveX control which I don't trust.

Is this something that can be easily fixed? Is it just a matter of lubricating some gears or do I have to replace the motor? If you have a PDF service manual for this deck, can you email it to me at googlegroups at rmxco dot com?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I'm handy with electronics, but not a pro...can you tell me or point me to a resource that tells me how I strip it down and re-lube, and with what kind of lube? Thanks.
