The tracking issue may be more of a tape issue than anything. Unfortuantely the only stock of tapes I have to work with were my fathers from the late 70s-mid 80s, which were stored in poor conditions AND in a basement flood. Most of the tapes have little patches of mold across the edges of the spools. I fear the tapes themselves are not much of a better quality. I keep cleaning the tape head every few hours but there isnt a a whole lot I can do.
I will run the adjustments on head speed tonight and go through all the points on the service manual, once I give the video head a good cleaning again.
