In this *Beginners Introduction to Compact Cassette* - I’m using Metal Tapes and Dolby S for the first time to see if a cassette tape really can sound ’almost as good as a CD’. Useful links below - click SHOW MORE to reveal..
eBay UK - Cassette Players
eBay US - Cassette Decks
If you are looking to buy the same model of machine I bought - the model is the Sony TC-S1 - this link will search for it on eBay UK
However the TC-S1 is part of the Sony Scala system and some people list it under this - so this link will look for the Sony Scala on eBay UK
Whatever eBay search you are doing - it’s advisable to expand it to include the rest of Europe - the prices and condition are often better if you source a machine from Germany, Austria, the Netherlands etc.
Don’t just search for Dolby S - as often this spec is not mentioned in the title of an auction.
I *bought* my blank Metal Tapes from here:
They sold out long ago.
Here’s the video I mention at the end, about the LAST AUDIO CASSETTE FACTORY:
If my video was too basic for you, don’t complain, it’s futile (the video has already been made and can’t be changed now) - Instead you can head over to and talk to the infinitely more knowledgeable people there about any tape related subject in detail
