1. That roller is one of the easier pieces in the VCR tape path to clean. It's large and smooth with no crevices and can be easily removed from the machine for inspection and cleaning. Do you know how to properly clean the rest of the tape path including the video head drums and tiny, fragile heads, the stationary heads, the capstan shaft and pinch roller?
2. "Still frame" in pause without picture interference is more difficult for VCR's than in normal play. A good, solid picture in normal play is all that's needed for playing and digitizing.
The brass roller you mentioned is not used in pause mode.
