Sony SL-HF950ES picture problem in all reverse modes. Same problem with all tapes. Video heads, stationary heads and tape path have been perfectly cleaned.Tape path and all guides seem OK. Tape edges are not damaged. Tapes play OK in my 2 other betamax, SL-C9F and SL-T50ME.
- NOW WORKING OK. The upper part of the head drum had some almost invisible and very sticked dots of dirt. I removed them after taking off the tape holder which concealed them.
