You can align a VHS VCR with a known good tape if you know what you're doing. Those entry and exit guides you turned do not go out of alignment by themselves, at least not on Panasonics. (Mitsubishi and JVC had a real problem with those guide rollers getting loose, and I made a good living fixing them but that doesn't apply to the Panasonic made machines). With VHS there are far fewer critical adjustments and alignments than Beta. I worked on plenty of both formats. Unfortunately you have applied the kiss of death - WD40! I remember handing customer's VCRs back to them unrepaired when I would find WD40 sprayed in the mechanism. "It was slipping so I thought I would oil it" or somesuch. Sorry for your loss!
