<\/a><\/p>\nThis is probably the oldest tape in my entire collection. According to Vintagecassettes<\/a>, this is one is a true 2nd generation from 1966:<\/p>\n I have no idea which one is this, but looks cool:<\/p>\n I think this is the only AMPEX I have:<\/p>\n This is the OST by John Williams from the 2nd (or 6th if you wish) part of STAR WARS. I was curious to see what quality does it offer, and it’s quite good indeed:<\/p>\n The J-card is surprising, it continues, goes outside the case and covers it from the back. something I’ve never seen before.<\/p>\n This is the entire contain of the cassette: it also contains a folded papel with lots of information:<\/p>\n And this is the unfolded information sheet:<\/p>\n I also got the Thriller, also to know about the quality of japanese copies. At first sight doesn’t seem anything special, but it may be an issue related to azimuth, I have to re-check:<\/p>\n To my surprise, it came with two J-cards, one over the other! I’ve never seen that before. And it also came with a folded information sheet:<\/p>\n Now the sealed ones. Here’s an excellent ’85 SONY HF-ES:<\/p>\n And here’s the next year version:<\/p>\n This one is a ’89 japanese version of the excellent HF-ES:<\/p>\n You thought there were no more than HF, HF-S and HF-ES? In Japan there was the rare HF-X:<\/p>\n And even more rare HF-Pro. Impressive, huh?<\/p>\n And now the black pearl: the ultra-rare TDK SA-XG, the\u00a0biggest brother of the SA, sharing the same shell as the mythical MA-XG:<\/p>\n Here, beside the other black pearl: the SONY UX-Master, another true rarity:<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
