What makes are they? Sony machines are generally less
reliable and much harder to source parts for than Sanyo.
Toshiba machines usually have shot heads.

Colin,

One is a Sony SL-HF300. It ejects the tape but the right front corner
of the tape gets jammed in the right side of the door opening. The
door flap also does not raise automatically. I have to hold it up
myself, or the tape gets jammed up against the flap and eventually
goes back into the machine. But, so far, it plays tapes just fine.
Knock on wood.

The other is a Sears model number 564-53410450. The tape gets caught
unside the machine. I've had to cut 2-3 tapes out of that machine.

Hope you're able to help somehow ! and, thanks !!
