I didn't know about it either until I tried to use a Philips cam in a Pana deck...well they looked the same and it sort of worked but I couldn't understand why the brake bar was bending......When I re-examined the cam and compared it to the original Pana cam after taking it all to bits again, the outer groove was at a very slightly different angle. I ordered the correct Panasonic cam and away it went.....
