    My dad recently found this in Kadıköy and it was new old stock but its a type 1 cassette and its 90 minutes. I also have 2 Maxell type 2 90 minute cassettes and they sound very good imo and this one seems not as good since its a type 1 and on top of that its 90 minutes. Is it any good?

    Raks apparently made some good tapes.

    But to answer you question probably not this one looks to be one of there low ended tapes.

    How ever I don't own any Raks tapes so I don't truly know if its good or bad.

    But any ways here a link to vintage cassettes web site if you want to know more about them.

    I haven't tested any RAKS but I've heard they are not so good. I guess @Elite-ist has tested some of them...
