Sony vcr model:SLV-M77,year:Aug 1989,has a Sanyo mechanics chassis:

and the problem is that during playback of a recorded tape on that
machine the audio is intermittent but playback of rental tapes or
tapes recorded on other machines is fine.I noticed that the famous
SCA3.0 cam belt was bad so I replaced it (it was obviously stretched
and would not allow both tape guide posts fully forward so the film
was not at the right height on the audio control head),cleaned the vcr
and cleaned/lubed the capstan motor so the vcr worked great for 1
month and now customer calls back and says problem is back.
I could not find any common repair tips at the free Sony repair tips
programs below:

have you checked and/or adjusted the backtension strap? this often
causes recordings of audio to suffer.
