I have a Sony Beta - SL-HF750

It plays the tape, I can hear sound when connecting the VCR to the
TV
using RCA cables - but there is no picture. All I get is a snowy
picture and Scrambled Lines if I choose Super Beta.

Audio works, I can hear it.

Using standard RF Coaxial cable, I get the same results.

What to look for?

Dirty heads but it's old enough to need a good cleaning by an
experienced tech. I don't recommend cleaning cassettes and if you
don't know what you're doing, video heads are easy to break and
expensive to replace - if they are even available for a 20 year old
machine.
