Nice additions thunder! Particularly like the Audio Magnetics tape I remember using this brand in the 70"s.

Colleagues! I think we have to create a separate thread for cleaning and demagnetizer cassettes. By the way, Yura has a lot of them!

Thanks for revealing the anatomy of the guided tape mechanism.

But I just wonder, is it a good idea? The tape is being rubbed by 4 additional pads, that too on the coated side. Additional wear and tear? 

 

Is it really necessary, other than while being moved around?

The tape is under tension during playback, anyway!

Another Golden rarity!

Wow! Yura, it's your cassette?

yukoru - 2015-01-27 04:37

No. This is a photo from the Internet.

thunder - 2015-02-02 12:02

This is adjustment cassette "Маяк".
First half of the tape is Fe and second half of the tape is Cr.

sotza - 2015-02-02 12:46

Great find thunder!You actually can see the color difference between Fe and Cr tape!

And instructions too,inside they mention BASF for some reason,very good stuff.
