[Solved] Greasing gears in VCR

[Thermaltake]

I noticed that some gears were not ment to be greased in VCR. I read manual of my NV-V8000 and couldn't find anything about where to put grease and where not to put on gears. Also where to put white one where to put black one. I was just able to find somewhere in the manual part number for white and black grease and that's it. So if someone can help me and point me out where not to put grease, that would be very helpful.

EDIT:
I did it by looking at other panasonic vcr's where they usually put black grease and where white, and I did it like that. Don't know why they don't mention that in manual, strange.

I think this post belongs in another section of the forum.

Is this same mechanism? If not then perhaps gearwheels are made to be selflubricated/not lubricated at all. Improper grease may destroy particularly plastic gearwheels - you need to be very careful for grease (if/any) you are using - best to follow vendor recommendation.

I was watching same brand FS200, HS1000..., I think it's all same.

I also don't think there were self lubricated tehnology in 90s, or maybe I'm wrong ?

How to even tell if they are self lubricated ?

Check if this is same mechanism - electronic can be different but mechanism should be the same so you can reuse service manual from different model.
self lubricating bearings but also gear wheels are pretty standard (they are made from alloys for example copper alloys like bronze or materials with self lubricating properties like graphite, ptfe, some other plastics - they don't need additional lube).
