The snap‑fit shells, graphite slip sheets, steel pins, flanged rollers, and red leader tape are all typical of Mallory’s U.S. assembly line, which relied on Hong Kong component kits during this period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(209, 5, 178);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote 1: 60 minutes:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e Box-fresh cassettes. \u003cstrong\u003eOnly 1 available\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(224, 122, 6);\"\u003eNote 1: 90 minutes:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e  Box-fresh cassettes.\u003cstrong\u003e Only a few available\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout Mallory (US):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eMallory Distribution Products Co.\u003c\/strong\u003e, based in Indianapolis, Indiana (P.O. Box 1284, 46206), operated from the late 1970s through the 1990s as a U.S. assembler and distributor of budget blank cassettes. They imported Hong Kong components and ferric stock, then assembled the finished cassettes domestically for hardware stores, auto shops, and discount retailers. Mallory no longer manufactures or distributes media today; the brand survives only on vintage tapes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eA word about Hanny Magnetics.\u003c\/strong\u003e Hanny Magnetics began in Hong Kong in the late 1970s and became a major OEM supplier of budget cassette components and Type‑0 ferric stock through the 1980s–90s. They exported snap‑fit shells, rollers, slip sheets, and tape pancakes used by countless re‑branders worldwide, including U.S. assemblers like Mallory. Hanny’s cassette operations faded out in the 2000s as demand collapsed, and the company shifted into general plastics and electronics manufacturing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(9, 42, 190);\"\u003eMallory UHO ~1988 - US\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e","brand":"Mallory","offers":[{"title":"60 Minutes","offer_id":56038721782052,"sku":"MAL-UHO-C60-88-US","price":6.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"90 Minutes","offer_id":56042405724452,"sku":"MAL-UHO-C90-88-US","price":6.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0254\/5208\/5345\/files\/5730EF86-97C3-47CA-9EAA-573A0FBE1DFF.jpg?v=1787328148","url":"https:\/\/www.cassettecomeback.com\/products\/mallory-uho-1988-us","provider":"Cassette Comeback","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
