Well I double checked the boards I worked on earlier and I found several more bad caps I missed, so I replaced those as well, and in total I replaced between the audio board and the Servo Board a whopping 13 capacitors which all suffered from the green corrosion on the capacitor leads, but unfortunately instead of making it better, it made it worse, somehow.

it will still play LP and SLP (EP) tapes just fine but when you try and play the LP and SP tapes instead of getting a picture, I just get video noise (the same kind of noise you get if a tape's tracking is severely off) except that the tracking isn't off the audio is just fine (in LP Mode) and in SP mode it still won't switch to the correct speed.

And I'm not sure what else to look for because I've replaced all of the bad capacitors in the Servo Board and the Audio Board, and it only restored operation to LP Mode, SP Mode is still not functioning, unless there's something else I'm missing?
