BASF Ferro Extra I - 1995 - US BASF may be most well known for developing Chromium Dioxide Type II tape, but they were no slouch at good old Type I either. A lot of BASF Ferric tape was used for pre-recorded cassettes. National Audio Company are still using BASF tape to load into their well regarded cassettes. Here we have some of the last Type I that BASF (now EMTEC) sold. Give it some NR and negative bias and you'll find a Type I that's almost up there with the TDK AD, at a more reasonable price.Note 1: 60 Minutes: Made in Europe (Germany?). 1995. BASF. Large case.
