The capstan spindle is probably the shaft of a flat direct drive motor. If there is a surface mount lytic on that motor board, change it. I had a similar problem (capstan would randomly stop) with a similar Sony Beta and that cap cured it.
Remove the rotor of the motor before soldering because if you burn it's plastic rim (which is a magnetic feed back to the motor speed control) while changing the cap it will develop permanent tracking error.
