Sony Betamax SL-HF950 SuperBetahi-fi Video Cassette Recorder - FAULTY - See Desc

Selling for parts / repair but may be a simple fix I tested this and it fully worked. The picture on the screen was very slightly crackly. I swapped the tape, and it gradually became worse, until the picture on the screen was flicking on and off and even more fuzzy (see photos). The sound still works perfectly. The eject mechanism works fine. All the buttons work. The draw makes a slight grinding noise when closing the tray. I suspect this has dust inside the machine from being unused from a long period and this is what's caused the picture to deteriorate when i started to use it. Due to this i do think it would be a simple fix. Maybe just a head clean. But I can't guarantee this is the problem! So I am selling this as broken.
