Default BetaMax repairman?

Can anyone fix a BeatMax video recorder/player. I have one that will load tapes, but the picture rolls when playing. Oddly enough, the picture shows when I fast forward. The sound works also. I tried cleaning the head, but no luck. It seens to be moving the tape too slowly. Maybe something is binding and need lubricating. If there is an electronics hobbiest out there who knows about these things, please respond.
Thanks
