The VBT200 is fixed! I turned the drum speed pot and just as I predicted, the picture came right in and is crystal clear.
Here is a video.
However, I'm still having a really weird problem that I cannot explain. It's almost like the VCR says to itself "Okay, I'm tired - I quit." Then, all the functions work very poorly or don't work at all. Earlier today, the FF, REW, and play were all very strong with no hesitation whatsoever. I was watching The Wizard of Oz, and all the a sudden, the picture froze, like pause on a newer VCR, and all the functions stopped working completely. The play key would not lock, and the FF and Rewind became very weak. And then, when I let it sit for half an hour to an hour, it begins working perfectly once again. I was informed that there are little bitty contacts, the "mode switches", that control the electronic section of the function. I doubt that these are the problem though, as I did clean them with DeOxit, and all the functions come and go suddenly. I'll put up another video tomorrow if anybody needs it to help them understand the problem.
