Static When Capturing VHS Tapes

I am encountering static on pre-recorded VHS tapes that I am capturing
into Final Cut Express. The recorded audio usually sounds great. The
static is on top of it. Here are details:
I have two VCR's (VCR/DVD combo units):
1.) Toshiba SD-V296KU purchased in February 2009
2.) JVC HRXVC14BU/HR-XVC15SU purchased in December 2007
If you think the VCR itself is causing the static, check the head drum
earthing brush - this is usually a spring loaded carbon brush (or similar)
in contact with the head drum spindle to discharge the static from rubbing
on the tape.
