@uberwaltz Sweet! I think you’ll really like them.Was that lot the 46 minutes tapes?  I bid on those, but it got to be a little too much money for me.

I posted a wanted ad a week ago on Craigslist for Nakamichi decks. Like I had stated above, I was a Nak dealer for many years and owned quite a few, but over the years and with various life situations, I had to sell most of them.My Nak rep, (he so...

Never really gave Maxell tapes a fair shot.Once I tried TDK SA I stuck with them. I always preferred Maxell to TDK, although I have a bunch of TDK.Being a dealer, I think I sold almost every brand of tape, at one time or another.My Favorites:3M...

I've spent all day with my cassettes!  I won a huge auction on E-Bay for around 125 recorded on once, (well according to the seller, but all of them are in excellent condition, tapes & cases).  Included were Maxell XLII90, XLII100, XLIIS90, XL...
