David,
 
Check the back tension.  It's probably not the problem though.
Try adding a little back tension while playing a tape by pushing the
back tension arm a little to the left. If the picture clears up. The
heads are bad.

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.
