So I Just Bought a Cassette Deck

I was big into cassettes for OTA recording for many years in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, and of course, for use in the car. When my last deck died in 2006, I figured that was the end. But, missing the fun of tape I just picked up a used but great-condition Nakamichi deck. So, a couple questions.

I heard there are new cassettes being made by a US company. They’re only making type 2 tapes. I believe the company has a 3-letter name. Anyone familiar with this?

Secondly, looking for any good tape deck repair places in the New England area. Or anywhere in the US really. All my go-to guys from years ago are gone. Any recommendations?

Thanks all.
