(you can get third party tapes as well now, which are cheaper)

Yeah, I saw no end of tapes for the various models on Amazon and eBay.

So, depending of how much of the 16mm tapes the characters take up, it
could be either a D400 or PTE300VP new or something better (that takes
the 24mm tapes), second hand, hopefully for less?

They can print multiple lines on a tap as well (depending on width) - so
with my machine a 3/4" tape can have up to 4 lines. On mine I can do 4
basic fonts, bold, italic, underline, & outline, plus a few odd things
like banners with graphics round them or printing small calendars!

What always worries me about second hand electronics that still cost a
bit is if they go wrong (no warranty etc)?

The basic machines are fairly cheap new...

Having said that, must have had mine at least 10 years, possibly 15 and
it's been faultless.
