Fuji DRII - 1998 - US/EU
"A solid all-round Type II and one of the most affordable, sealed, brand name, Type II on sale. This cassette is made in Korea with double-coated tape from Japan." Tony Villa. Fuji maintained their highest standards even when it took manufacturing to outside of Japan. Fuji is second to none compared to all other top major brands in terms of the quality they put into their finished product. The tape, the parts, the shells, the case, everything is meticulously finished, and you can easily tell once you have it in your hands. Fuji tapes are a tribute to "Audio Excellence" in every way.
Made in 1998, and comes in a slim case. The ones on sale were made in the PRC, and the wrapper differs slightly from the ones shown. Pictures show the EU version! New pictures will be added soon.
Note 1: 60 Minutes: US Market (PRC): Only (1) available. In fact, it's the first one ever to pass by here in almost 10 years! Moderately scuffed, but no rips and no cuts.
