Tape Deck / Cassette Deck

[bruno]

Here are some notable tapes from my stash:

Sony Metal Master
The cassette shell is made of ceramic.

TDK MAX-G

Using Reference Stadard II Cassette Mechanism



This thing breaks easily on the corners.

[bruno]

Final Generation TDK MAX-G

Using the more durable Anti-Resonant Reference Standard II cassette mechanism.



This is the last of the best tapes ever made. Still have a few sealed units.

[bruno]

Nakamichi Tapes



These were made by TDK. The quality is better because the tapes are taken from the middle of the spools from the TDK factory.

[bruno]

Some Nakamichi alignment tapes:



The one in the middle is used to evaluate the tape as it travels along the heads. It is fitted with an angled mirror.

[bruno]

A Sony force gauge cassette



This is used to measure the the pulling force of the take up reel. Too much pull results in stretching/damage to the tape.

What is the correct way to store tape?
Most of my reel to reel tapes disintegrated, i have a few sealed reels and maybe 10 recorded from vinyl, maybe 5 sealed blanks and a few hundred cassettes. (the cassettes are all from the early 80's from Ansons, my UK friends would order around 50 each if they knew is was UK bound and i would end up buying a cheap suitcase to carry them all).

The tape deck, I'm looking for is a Pioneer "KP5" old-skool car cassette radio.

Does anybody still Play / Record in Tape Deck or Cassette Deck?

Here's a sample pic of a classic Tape Deck i got from the web:

Nice deck! One of the best ever.
Are they coming down in prices now?

I still have my tapes around but I think the inconvenience factor doesn't make me play my Technics deck anymore.

WOW! ang Lufeeettt.....
