For a VHS with playback problems.. is there anyway to repair or restore the original VHS in anyway, that will make it play properly again?

For a more specific example, see these screenshots:

Two things happen in this video that screw up the picture. Near the begging, you get the wave that will cut through and distort the picture as seen in the first picture. Sometimes it's small and sometimes it's big. Sometimes it goes away, but it comes back. And from the middle of the video and onward, the array of static seen on the second picture pops up for a few seconds, then goes away for a second or two, then comes back again. Adjusting the tracking doesn't do anything. The tape inside looks to be fine. No wrinkles or anything.. Is there a way to fix the tape, or are the problems buried inside the tape itself?

Thanks for any input
