I suspect it is as suggested, most VCR's will not convert RGB to composite video. Try connecting to the newer TV's the same way as the old one i.e. via the VCR into the RF input. I suspect you will get the same results. The composite video pin of the SCART will probably be carrying the sync which might be responsible for the image you are seeing. Playing a DVD player or set top box via a VCR will be different because these devices will send composite video as well as RGB. It's been a long time since I've tried anything like this so I stand to be corrected if I'm mistaken.
