BASF Ferro Extra I - 1991 - US
BASF may be most well known for developing Chromium Dioxide Type II tape, but they were no slouch at good old Type I either.
A lot of BASF Ferric tape was used for pre-recorded cassettes. National Audio Company are still using BASF tape to load into their well regarded cassettes.
Here we have probably the best "basic" Type I that BASF (now EMTEC) sold. The shell on these, although clear, is probably the best all clear shell ever made. It's heavy and well designed, real class.
Give it some NR and negative bias and you'll find a Type I that's almost up there with the TDK AD, at a more reasonable price.
Please note, that although these cassettes are new and sealed, there may be some damage to the outer wrapper.
NOTE 1: Four (4) C60 tapes available with the "Blue Banner" across them. Wrappers may have some imperfections.
NOTE 2: Two (2) C60 tapes available with the "Zellers" price sticker on them.
NOTE 3: Two (2) C90 Only 2 available with a Rare "Zellers" price sticker on them.
