Sounds like the heads in the video player need cleaning - not the tape. It's a simple job using iso-propol alcohol. Ask around locally, I am sure some one will help you. Just make sure they use a soft clothe with no loose threads and move it gently around the drum, not up and down.

Sounds like it might have been recorded in LP and you might be trying to play it back in SP. Have you considered that!
