Year of this TDK Compact Cassette

bredgeo - 2008-09-07 05:32

Here is a pics.... I do not remember ever seeing any of these on selves for sell... So, are these before my "Boombox", my "Music" times? This one is new... just does not have the original wrap:



The only extra writing on it is on its bottom...

The serial Nr. 19215611

Not sure what year but I believe these were mainly used for office and media application.

DUDE!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the links!!!!!!!

That felt good to the eyes!!!!!!!! I have got a good 85% of each.... What I mean is at lease 1 example of each... missing all but one of the metal case... MA R 60 (red).... missing DJ metal, AD 120 minutes, Audio Demagnetizer... And having lost (many years ago) my HD-01...... Bla, bla, bla....

This said, the links do not have this particular series that is pictured above... So, yeah.... a possible 79/80s office and or media use....

I knew that HD-01 looked familiar I still have one and she stills demags.

I love the SA-XG only have one though. Frown

Another tape archive link...

I gotta agree with Ford93, looks like a media/office/answering machine cassette tape not necessarily meant for hifi recordings. Looks like a predecessor to the TDK D, probably made in the mid-70's to early 80s.

Maxell had similar tapes called the "COMMUNICATOR" series.

Otherwise, I'm thinking it would have been included in one of the archive sites in this thread...

jt - 2008-09-07 21:16

90 min version - no year though...

bredgeo - 2008-09-07 21:20

MMMMMMMMMMMM....... AHHHHHH........ HUMPFFFFFF....

Eek Eek Eek

Wanna sell???????????? (The HD - 01)

Yap...... Seeing the links not having it, it sounds logical the media explanation!

yes Mine is not for sale either as I like to use it on those car cassette deck player's that i have in my various vehicles ( ok, 2 trucks ) -& not the Scion - that has a cd thingy ... that accept a cassette endwise and therefore it is very hard to demag the heads with a propper demagger so this works well in the interim Cool
