Nakamichi SX - 1976 - JP

Ferricobalt formulation as per Nakamichi. Setting: Type II, 70μs.

It may also have been TDK that produced these earlier cassettes for Nakamichi, but I can't be sure. TDK definitely produced cassettes for Nakamichi later on, but I can't confirm this run was also manufactured by TDK. Being TDK, this would very likely be their famous SA formulation for the time. If anyone has actual information about what TDK tape formulation was used in these Nakamichi SX-II tapes, please share it with us and we will share it here for the benefit of everyone. Thank you!

NOTE: Only one available! Sorry about the price! The wrapper is brittle and split in many places (see pics). It was repaired with good clear adhesive tape, with no finger prints on any of it.
