Hello All, I’m gathering information on “know-how” knowledges about tape identification. (audio, video, old one new one…) Does anybody know or have some basic knowledges about how to read a serial number ? (for tapes or cassettes that have one printed on the backing, on the cassette, on a sticker on the cardbox….) The informations I’m trying to extract from serials are : manufacturing date, manufacturing site, any information about technology or materials…. You can contact me off-list if you wish to share your knowledge with me. Thank you very much.
