Im the original owner of this high end tape. At one point in the early 80s I owned a Nakamichi tape deck, and so paired the best in cassette decks with the best in cassette tapes. I recorded an album on each side of this tape and listened to it perhaps 15 times the entire time I had it. The case (which is original) saw more scuffing wear and tear because I kept all my tapes stacked side-by-side and so any time I pulled one out, the entire deck would move. As I say, the tape only received about 15 plays and that includes both sides. It was sitting in a box filled with other tapes and I had no idea it was such a sought after item, and thats how it appeared here. The case is original. The sleeve is original and unseparated. The stickers are original and unused (all visible in my pictures). So, not a mint condition item, but very nearly that (again except for the case). The tape has NOT been erased. I dont really see the point since the buyer is going to be recording over it anyway.

Good condition

Up for auction is my new, unused, still sealed TDK MA-R90 Reference Standard Metal Position Cassette tape. I purchased a few of these in the 80s to use as master tapes for mix-downs from my Tascam 244 to my Nakamichi 480Z. This particular cassette was never opened, and I just discovered it while looking through my 4-track cassettes that Im in the process of digitizing. All of my tapes have always been carefully kept in a conditioned, non-smoker environment. I think its time to find this reference cassette a new home so that it can be used as intended. If youre looking at this, you likely already know what this is. Please look at the photos carefully and be sure to ask any questions you may have before bidding or purchasing as Im selling this as-is, no returns.
