I have repaired few VHS VCRs by openign them and cleaning with isopropanol and headcleaning sticks(from local electronic store). Also clean all surfases that get contacted with tape (guide and pressure rolls, audio head etc)
You can also try to replace the pressure rolls and rubber-belts. All this requires to open the machine and there fore bye bye warranty...
If you are not familiar with electronics and expecially VCR technology, you should let someone with proper skills and equipment to do this.

Unless you don't mind if that cam gets broken beyond repair, I would send it to rca for servicing. You might check to see if the rollers are sticking though. If they are, you may be able to figure out how to lubricate them.
