    What's up all, I recently pulled out my Sony TVR720. It's a Digital8 recording camera. I haven't used it in probably a good 3 years but had it service before I packed it away. I pulled it out and all of my tapes skip about every second or so. It's a pain. I figure that the heads were cleaned or realigned when it was serviced. Any ideas on how I can fix this problem? I appreciate any advice on the matter. Have a great one.

    3 years is more than enough time for the heads to oxidize if the storage conditions weren't climate controlled. It might be worth getting them cleaned again.
