Early 1980s Hitachi VCR Having Video Problems

Hello Everyone, about a month and a half ago I had found at a local computer store's freebie pile an early 1980s Hitachi VT-8500A Top-Loader VCR that was in need of a little TLC (it needed a complete set of belts because it wouldn't rewind, fast forward or play) and I just got it in complete running order yesterday afternoon, the only issue is that its not putting out any video when the tape plays just a blank, black screen and that's it, and I'm not sure why its doing that. Its just so frustrating because I'm just so close to getting it running fully and the only thing keeping it from being a fully functioning VCR again is the lack of video playback currently.

Any ideas as to where I should start troubleshooting the no video playback issue?
