Thanks for the reply Robert. The E180 would be the best choice I would have thought. The E240 tape was very thin and more likely to jam. Some VCR's were prone to this, the Philips VR6460 (Their first VHS - I think), and some Sony Beta's also suffered with highly polished upper drums, and the resultant drag effects.

Regards, SJM.
