I have a Sony Beta - SL-HF750
It plays the tape, I can hear sound when connecting the VCR to the TV using RCA cables - but there is no picture. All I get is a snowy picture and Scrambled Lines if I choose Super Beta.
Audio works, I can hear it.
Using standard RF Coaxial cable, I get the same results.
What to look for?

Dirty heads but it's old enough to need a good cleaning by an experienced tech. I don't recommend cleaning cassettes and if you don't know what you're doing, video heads are easy to break and expensive to replace - if they are even available for a 20 year old machine.

Cleaning tapes can clog the heads. I'd try flushing them with an appropriate spray cleaners.
