Just because something has a different model number, doesn't mean it
won't work.
Sometimes the same product can have an updated model number.
That was the reason for my "Any Panasonic VCR Experts In Here?".....I
took a chance, and it didn't work out.....oh well.
Instead of criticizing what I did, give me an answer as to why it
didn't work...besides they weren't the same model number.
