I remember those camcorders.I had the same issues in any type of tape recorders/VCRs over the years.First I try to rock it back and forth.If no results I take the idler assembly apart and add a tiny drop of oil on the shaft.Dont get the oil on the rubber and plastic drive surfaces.More likely its probably a nightmare to get inside to the camcorder mechanism section to the idler assembly to work on it.
