UPDATE: I finally got the speed issues resolved, I ended up replacing almost every single cap on the Servo and Audio boards in the PV-1750 except for one of the higher value caps and several super low value caps (less than 10uF in value, such as 4.7. 3.3 and .1 and .33 and .22 uF electrolytics, mainly because I didn't have access to those values of caps in the voltage I needed.)
But now I'm having issues with the video playback again, where the video is nothing but a garbled mess but the audio is fine.
And yes I already checked the video heads and that wasn't what was wrong with it, it acts almost like when a TV has an analog station (from an RF Modulator or DTV Converter Box) tuned in but its off frequency (referring to a TV with a knob tuner on it that you had to fine tune the signal, or a varactor tuner that has the station tuned in just enough so that the audio comes in loud and clear but the video is snowy and bouncy.)
Its making me think possibly something is up with the RF Modulator portion of the VCR (the UHF/VHF I/O section of the VCR that has the Channel 3/4 switch), because otherwise I don't know what else could be causing the video playback issues I'm having, I haven't tried to see what it does using the RCA Video outputs on the back of the VCR to see what that does, but unfortunately I don't have any CRT TVs that have built in A/V jacks.
