Did that last night, no dice. There is a small divot worn into the carbon brush and the drum part is not rotating on center, but no amount of pushing, pulling, or repositioning this brush makes any difference in the white streaks.
I was thinking about this last night, trying to map what I see on screen to the signal coming out of the VCR. I know VCRs record video as diagonal stripes on the tape, alternating between two heads. The question is, what is recorded within one stripe? Is it a complete set of 262.5 horizontal lines worth of information (aka, a field)? Since the head swipes from bottom to top of the tape, is the bottom of the swipe the beginning of a field? I wondered if it was dirt on the tape path but I'm not seeing any, nor any tape path issues during playback.
