If I had that machine first thing I would be doing is checking every electrolytic in it with my ESR meter. I actually have two, one I used at the shop and the other for home use, it's that important and useful.
Unfortunately my ESR Meter died recently (the LCD Display won't come on anymore) and it was one of those "kit" units that you could get on ebay for $10 (the one that could come either cased or uncased.)

The Sam's for this VCR is from 1987 and my VCR is from 1984...
