Is it fast-playing tapes that had previous played fine?

With no detailed info or video sample I'm going to assume the capstan control board took a dump, time to to get another VCR, see VCR suggestion section.

Its a Video/DVD Recorder combi and would rather see if I can get any suggestions here than pay at least £150 to buy a second hand one or get it fixed for that amount as well, (I've looked into those options!)
