[QUOTE="Steerpike, post: 69264, member: 807"] The B77's LEFT guide post is actually a ball race. When it gets dirty or the lubrication dries up, it screams like a banshee. It's quite simple to remove it to clean and *judiciously* re-lubricate. Otherwise you can get brand new ones from RS Components - about R40. Be sure to hold the hex piller underneath it with a spanner before unscrewing the top hex nut/pin. When replacing, be very careful to get the brass shim washers centred correctly - if they are off centre, when you tighten it all, the bolt will cut the washers in two. If your tape is degenerating (see "sticky-shed-syndrome") the machines will scream and grind to a halt during winding. [/QUOTE]
