Most of the issues with thease sony vcr's was caps in the servo circut and also drum caps inside the drum motor is a cap as well sometimes fail.

I really have no idea what may be causing your issue, but usually VCR issues tend to be mechanical, so I don't know if replacing the caps will really do anything in your case.
However, replacing the blue Sanyo capacitors WILL work on the SONY (not SANYO) SL-5000 series VCRs.

I have a mechanical clicking sound about every 5 seconds, I looked and its a series of like hinged arms the are repeatly being push out from a piston behind and to the left of the big spinning circle. If I replace all the capacitors will this cure this 1980 Sears/Sanyo 5050. I got it free and can afford to make a mistake learning
For all those saying for him to upgrade..i mean what's wrong with hanging with oldschool technology? You can still be in the 21st century and like old technology, one thing doesn't stop the other!
I have a 2010 awesome computer and i still use a 1998 computer with a 3dfx card to play online some glide games.
I have a awseome media center connected to my huge lcd tv and i still have a old VHS coupled with it to play old vhs.
Anyway this video is rather old, did you managed to fix that betamax?

What's causing it is you bought a cheap clunky BETAMAX VIDEO PLAYER WHY WHY WHY!!!Chuck it in the bin and join the 21st century man.Watch your Frankie Vaughan on something else.Them click sounds with the buttons are like thunderclaps.I hope you paid tap washers for it.How can we enjoy the video when it won't play reet.
