Most VCRs run at their highest speed (SP for a VHS machine) until they are "told" to slow down by slower-speed control pulses. If you have (or make) an SP-speed test recording on another VCR, it may play at the correct or near-correct speed. But, of course, you need to fix the problem.

what about pre-recorded tapes though? I have a lot of pre-recorded tapes and they definitely don't seem to play at the right speed regardless of what speed they where recorded at or how long they are.
