Cobalt SHX - 1989 - AF(AT)
Cobalt SHX 1989 - Made in Austria for Uganda and other East Africa States.
Made in Zirl, Austria by Tyrolis under its Advanced Media Products division, this Cobalt SHX Type II cassette dates to roughly 1989–1994 and uses high‑grade cobalt‑doped tape with precise European shell tooling. The 900‑prefix UPC confirms Austrian registration. Exported to East Africa and distributed by DAWI Enterprises in Kampala, it’s a high quality, rare Austria‑made, Uganda‑market variant.
Collector's corner:
This is the first true African‑bound cassette Cassette Comeback has ever documented, making it rather unusual and possibly quite rare.
Note 1: 60 Minutes: Box-fresh cassettes. Very few available.
