Blank audio cassettes ARE still made, even in the United States


I bought some bought haven't tried them yet. Need to get the cassette deck worked on yet.

National Audio in Springfield Missouri is the manufacturer.

They have three types of blank cassettes.

I bought some new old stock cassettes a few years ago from a few different sellers but didn't have any luck with them. If I had to guess they weren't stored properly. They didn't record well, poor sound quality. I'm not speaking of what you're offering, just what I purchased previously.

Sorry Elliot, I misunderstood you. I thought you were selling BLANK tapes. Now I realize you're speaking of pre-recorded tapes. Woops.

BTW, just tried to order direct from ATR. The Silver series tapes are available from them. The Gold series tapes are sold out. I believe I have found a source for the Gold series at Lunchbox Audio:

I ordered two 5 packs of the Gold series from them.

Thanks again for the heads up.

Thanks for the input atmasphere.

I just yesterday received a nice vintage Harman Kardon TD 4800 cassette deck.

I've wanted one for years and finally scored it. This deck sounds SWEET, even with a 40 year old prerecorded tape.

I've been researching the best types of blank tapes to buy. Of course there's many opinions and most differ. One thing I have learned is that a cobalt tape is of very high quality. I'll definitely try out the ATR offerings.

 I just deleted my message that says Lunchbox Audio is out of stock on the ATR Cobalt Gold Series blank cassettes.

 After I placed my order for two 5 packs, they notified me that they only had 4 blanks in stock. Apparently when they picked the order they found that they had more in stock than their inventory list showed. How many more? I don't know. They were able to fulfill my original order of two 5 packs though.
