We just recently acquired approximately 60 reels of Maxell Sound Recording Tape 35-180. 30 new and 30 used. The used tape was only recorded on once for classical music, and we ran it all and low speed erased it and tested. Maxell is one of the few tapes which can last 20-30 years, (possibly more if stored correctly in a cool dry place). This tape was purchased recently before Maxell stopped issuing tape to the U.S. It's been tested for shedding and wrap, it's perfect. Maxell type bias and signal levels is similar enough to GP9 (the improved Scotch 996) and soon ATR may release tape (may be within a year) but tape prices will be significantly higher than the prices here.
