Same frame captured from another recorder:

What's wrong with the first VCR? Worn / dirty heads or anything else?

Likely worn heads, when there is black streaking from white fast transitions
like lettering edges.

Yes they are and that recorder was used by a total incompetent.

Were those pictures captured from the VTR in question? If so I guess I
missed the point of the pictures.

The pictures are frames from a video, shot with a video-camera. That
video was copied to a normal-sized VHS cassette. I played the
videotape on 2 different VCRs and captured the exact same frame to
show how one of my VCR behaves, compared to a working one.

Note the tearing in the time/date text from the VCR. The Yamaha is
just there to throw us off.

Yeah I saw that on a second look. My fix would be to clean the video
head. If that didn't do it, pull and replace it. I started out in the VTR
repair world back when it took two people to life a U-Matic deck on the
workbench.
