And hello, again, i`ve got 2 new fine cassettes : The SA-X is one, i`m long looked for - it`s the type for the region North-America, and the LN is an old one from 1972, i can use it as placeholder for the 90-minutes-version. Both are in very good condition, rar to find. In about two weeks comes another parcel with a greater lot, it`s exciting to wait for. Have a good weekend
I have those two, but not sealed. I'm looking for a 1st generation TDK SA but all I found is 2nd gen... I'll kepp searching.
I have a few TDK SA-X and SA-XS. The last batch of sealed NOS cassettes I got earlier this year. Seller's photo: Nando.
Beyond impressive. Amazing collection of TDK. Thanks for sharing! I'm curious what sparked your interest to focus on TDK?
@walkman archive: I will answer your questions in your other thread (Show us your collection of own mixtapes (I show mines) | Stereo2Go forums) as I don't want to continue muddling up @soluna 's excellent thread about his TDK collection. Nando.
So sorry for late answer to all, the AI didn`t inform me about new posts since a couple of days... @wheaties1909 - why TDK - little bit courious story - i bought a new tapedeck 3 years ago, TEAC V6030S, and i decided to buy new sealed cassettes, at first my preferred brand Maxell, then others , Denon, Sony ,That`s, Hitachi, Pioneer, Nakamichi, BASF, and even TDK. Then i wanted to change to only one brand, because there is not enough place in the little flat to fulfill a complete collection of more than one brand. After gathering enough information i chose TDK, because they have produced the most different tapes, by my meaning ( i think, that`s right... ). @walkman archive - 2 SA first generation - you mean like this one : https://www.ebay.de/itm/364376616506?hash=item54d689ee3a:g:7J0AAOSwKuxi~80R ? By the way, one parcel with cassettes are at customs here, i wait for it, Germans with a proverb say "like sitting on ember "... ;-)
The parcel is here, let`s see what`s in it The CDing 1 Cassettes i was able to buy in a lot of 16 for a very good price, sometimes i buy a full lot, because there is only one cassette i need - in this case it was the CDing 1 90. And the Disc Jack 2 90 came with the AR,D and Konica. Because the parcel was on the weight limit, i this time got not all. The MA-X from 1994 ,the AD from 1997 and the japanese SA from 1991 are tapes, i looked for a long time. All the others are tapes with different tape length or declaration as i already have. Meanwhile the D 90 from 1982 is the 11-th 1982 D90, and all have another declarations. For example - find the difference : ;-) So now 489 cassettes are in the collection - and there still will come 20 next month. To be continued have a good time
a new parcel arrived, content : Now there is only one CDing-1 ,( this one with the snowboarder ), and one CDing-2 90,from 1998, i need . Then the full CDing-Series will be completed. The Head Cleaner in paper box is very old, 1974/75, and the MA-X for US-market has another declaration then that, i already have. The 500 - limit is very near. There are still 3 parcels on their way to me...
e voila, two new cassettes : These are the cassettes for the japanese region from 1979, i only had the europian and american versions...
Sorry to be so late. Well, that SA is actually 2nd gen, I've never seen a 1st gen. According to vintagecassettes.com, the 1st gen should show a triangle in the corner saying Avylin: http://vintagecassettes.com/tdk/tdk_files/tdk_year/image1112.jpg
@ walkman archive - i think , the SA on the picture is the same, like i have ( i have two different ) The green triangle is only o item of design. And both cassettes are from 1975-77. In these years were also produced these SA, like i have :
But you could be right, on the vintage-picture the cassette have no "Super Precision... ) - Print. And vintage-cassettes show the first SA from 1974-75. So this i still need...
Yep, I think all those are 2ng gen as mines. Probably from the technical side they are almost the same, but I'd love to have one 1st gen.
May be - he has some : https://meshok.net/en/info/341408/lots?pN=40&search=TDK SA I have found a way to buy from another seller from there, and i myself want to buy some. I will ask the seller, if he can buy it, and send it to me.
I bought a supposed TDK SA 1st gen years ago but turned out to be a fake, a very bad quality clone. Take a look...
