What, exactly, do you mean by "repaired"? Record speed has nothing to do with repair
The tapes are very grainy and hard to see. I was told that if I had them moved to DVD it would be grainy there as well.

That is correct; the old garbage in/garbage out scenario. The output will never be better than what you input. Film is restored by digitally importing each frame (24f per sec), correcting, output to digital, and then transferring back to film. Magnetic media...not so much. It is POSSIBLE to edit the output to enhance the images, but won't justify the expense.
Long story short....won't work.

I assume you checked to make sure it is not the VCR? I had that problem once. Popped in another VCR and they were fine.
