Hello, I did a quick count of my blank cassettes and I did a simple calculation, If I use one blank tape a week I'll be out of new ones in less than a year. Hey, I can stop taping anytime I want, OK? I've just picked up a couple of 5 packs but that only gets me a couple more months. I don't need to tape, I just need a few dozen more. I stopped at my local Walgreen's drug store where they had Maxell XLii by the 5 pack but they only have the normal pos cassettes now--not the good stuff. I nearly had a panic attack. E-bay is too hit & miss. I need some bad, I'll drive to a big city if I have to. They have to be sealed new ones in bricks if possible. 60's, 90's or even 100/120 if I have to. I prefer 90. I've been taping on used rummage sale tapes to conserve in these desperate times and I'm trying to cut down to just once a week....
Anyone have a source in the U.S.?

Hello,
I'm relaxing, having a cigarette now.
I've been able to find some TDK-sa90(130)for a very good price(at least I think so). I made the post as a little bit of a lampoon on our addiction to this hobby.
I can't believe I passed on Maxell XL-II's for fifty cents apiece when they were on close out at our local Walgreens drugstores...They were 60 mins and not 90's. Now they are all gone--DOH!!

It's weird how the UK and Canada still have the Maxells, etc. readily available.

It will be interesting to see me wife's reaction to the arrival of 20 lb shipment of the TDK cassettes.

Thanks for you reply,
