Hello Gentlemen, I'm not really sure what the problem might be here but it looks like a bad video head. Picture is distorted with white blocks that streak throughout the picture (except on the very top and bottom), not like bad tracking or misaligned guide posts. Cleaned the video head (twice) but this made no difference. I've seen this before but can't remember what it was. The picture is relatively clear above and below the distorted area. Could this be a bad video head or is this related to an electronic problem. God Bless America (North & South). Thanks in advance.
