    Increase in Kittens
    CDing1 - U -Series is now complete
    Very glad about the two Oldies ( Krom from 72, Maverick - here again in paper box - from 73 )
    This CD Power Cassette has a little bit other design than the 90-minutes-tape. It`s assembled in Thailand.
    And i like the blistered tobacco merchandise tapes - had this only without the blister.
    590 Cassettes in Collection - 8 new will come next.
    Have a good weekend

    After a longer time, i can post someting new - it`s harder from post to post getting new tapes, the to-do-list is smaller and smaller, but the tapes rarer and rarer.
    Let`s start
    20241126_165455.jpg 20241127_030608.jpg 20241127_031014.jpg
    20241220_171958.jpg 20241220_172106.jpg 20241220_172239.jpg 20241220_172353.jpg
    20241220_172407.jpg 20241220_172502.jpg Basara Box (1).jpg
    You can see, i began to collect also special cassettes, like the Horizon and the Nobody - these are TDK Learning and Music Editions. A curious thing is the 10-Pack for Karaoke - i don`t know, what tapes are in it - may be CDing Type.
    The Basara i still had, but not in Paper Box, and the SA 42 completed the list of special playing time - it`s the last, i needed.
    The D-C -tapes are different - some with star, some without - the star in the declaration means, it´s the first edition of the tape type, from 1972-74, in 1975 then the star changed to a point, you can also see this on SD and AD and ED - Type.
    Now collection includes 607 items, and i not added some funny stuff, like a Corgi Bus with TDK logo, a red metal Cassette Box, Rommee Playing Cards in TDK Cassette Format and Blistered Labels and Inlay Cards.
    So it`s going on, there are about 50, i`m still looking for ( unfortunally i passed Time Editor, but price was very, VERY high ).
    I wish you all a Cosy X-Mas, and peaceful sliding into New Year - that are strange times, aren`t they !

    The life cycle of collecting is so fascinating, 25 years ago there were NOS tapes everywhere and boxes of "FREE" used tapes at every garage sale. The other thing I like is the graphic design, I've heard that 50's logos are coming back bigly, Jaguar is getting pummeled for changing theirs. I feel like modern CEO's want to leave a mark and changing the iconic logo is the easiest way, right before they get kicked out usually.

    2 Mr.X @ "The other thing I like is the graphic design" - yes , some of the TDK Tapes are really Art - for example the "CUE" - series, and i really like the Design of the CDing with different grafic patterns for different playtimes. And the Logo is a longtime player, despite of some people don`t discover the gemstone in it... I will post a picture of a selection with every playtime, TDK has published, so you can get a little overview of the different designs.
    Still have a peaceful X-Mas.
