AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Sony Metal-XR was part of Sony’s high-grade Metal Series for Type IV metal tape recording, designed for excellent dynamic range and clear digital-era sound reproduction. The packaging indicates Type IV [Metal] Position, 70 μs EQ, and Made in Japan.

This lot contains a well-balanced selection of different recording lengths:

- 3 × Metal-XR 90-minute 2-packs = 6 cassettes
- 1 × Metal-XR 90-minute single cassette
- 1 × Metal-XR 60-minute cassette
- 1 × Metal-XR 54-minute cassette
- 4 × Metal-XR 50-minute cassettes

Total: 13 factory-sealed cassettes.

All tapes are sealed and unused. The functional condition has not been tested, as the cassettes remain unopened.

The overall physical condition is excellent for vintage sealed stock. Please note that the outer packaging shows some age-related wear and handling marks. The 54-minute and 60-minute cassettes have shrink-wrap tears, one 50-minute cassette has a price-sticker mark, and the 90-minute single cassette shows some wear/marks around the outer shrink wrap and opening flap. Please check all photos carefully for the exact condition.

A very attractive lot for collectors of Sony high-grade cassette tapes, Type IV metal tapes, and vintage Japanese audio media.

The lot will be carefully packed and shipped with tracking and insurance.

Any customs duties, VAT, import taxes, customs clearance fees or handling charges in the destination country are the responsibility of the buyer.
