A capture...?
Oh you mean a screenshot! Sure thing!
Thompson VTR on the left, Sony VTR on the right:
As you can see, the Thompson VTR makes no effort at all on trying to compensate oxide fading occurred on the tape and it just outputs what it reads. Besides, in the parts in which the tape is completely ruined, it doesn't do any kind of smart correction using adjacent fields or anything, it just outputs crap. This includes, stuttering, shacking, channel conditions and some scenes in which there's chroma only but almost no luma at all for whatever reason, while the Sony VTR makes a HUGE effort in trying to compensate the deteriorated tape in the best possible way and if it's really completely spoiled and it can't read anything, it just outputs a duplicated field from the former one.
