The VR6460 has a Panasonic head assembly and a very much proven Panasonic mechanism. The VR6560 was the parallel model with Philips' first VHS head and mechanism, but I never heard of this problem. Maybe it was Grundig? They had very strange decks, I think some were even lacking the grooves on the upper head drum.
