Try checking the guide rollers first. Might not be a problem if it has the improved version. If you can turn or move the stationary part up and down with your fingers they need repair or replacement. Then you will need to do a tape path and tracking alignment.

Back in the day on customer VCRs, I would replace the guide bases all the time since I had to guarantee my repairs. Never really trusted a quick fix like gluing, but it might work OK.
