here goes. When you remove the lens unit, turn it over and remove the metal case.
Then you will find what I call the Lens unit Mobo. (see picture)
There is a pot in the middle of it (see picture) My Viper GC didn't read a lot of brands 8 mm disk.
My value was 380 ohms. I reduced it to 250 and I have had no problem since. (almost every brand 8mm Disk I tested Emtec/Sony/optodisc/Memorex work perfectly Burned @ 2 speed)
I have "vipered 2 more GC's" and measured their Values I was supprised to see that their standard values were between 180 and 250 OHMS.
So that's why I consider the Value optimized between 200 and 230.
Tested with
Sony Habdycam 8cm DVDR 1,4 GB (burned @ 2 Speed)
Optodisc 8cm DVD-R 1,4 GB (burned @ 2 Speed)
Memorex 8cm DVD-R 1,4 GB (burned @ 2 Speed)
Lead-Data 8cm dvd-r 1,4 GB (burned @ 1 Speed)
Emtec DVD-r 1,4 GB (burned @ 2 Speed)
Work perfectly
This counts for the US and PAL CUBE (haven't tested on the Panasonic Q (don't even know how to "viper" that one) and haven't tested it on the JAP cube)
