Capstan shuttles back & forth on Panasonic VCR

John:
Certainly start with the power supply and if you do not have an esr meter to
check the electrolytics in the SMPS... just replace all of them.... many
suppliers will have repair kits that will include most of the electrolytics
that need to be replaced.
Also..... if the problem still persists after the power supply is taken care
of then you will want to focus your attention to the capstan motor driver
chip... and eventually the motor itself.
