Finally some more GOOD news after weeks of despair. I was able to get the second unit up and running, and despite a few adjustments needed, the tapes now digitize fine, no horizontal skewing! I uploaded a small clip from the commercials of the Geraldo 1980s Chicago Al Capone Vault airing to youtube.
Sadly even a small video like this had some compression compared to the original file but you still get the idea.
