[sci.electronics] VCR help!

Hi, y'all.  I've got this vcr that has a minor problem.  I got it free, and 
managed to fix one of the 2 problems already (broken f connector  on the
inside)
But....  Here is the deal.  It will record sound and video, but only playback
sound.  video and sound both work when I am just using the tuner, but
when playing a tape, I get no video.. not even a hint, except that
certain kind of different static you get when your vcr is feeding the
video.  The head is spinning ok,and there are no obviously loose wires. 
Any clues?
Thanks A bunch
Seth
