How to Tell
- Most tapes duplicated at GTK Duplicating Co. were duplicated on cassettes manufactured in either Hong Kong, Korea or Taiwan, and had the audio track in linear only, although many SP-mode tapes duplicated at this arm did have a hi-fi audio track in addition to a linear track.
- Post-1986 tapes have a black screen test pattern with the 1000 Hz tone at the end.
- Pre-1998 tapes have the record tab intact, while post-1998 tapes omitted it.
- Numerous tapes are recorded over by TV static at the beginning.
- Certain 1997-2005 tapes were duplicated on cassettes manufactured in Korea.
- All tapes have a printing with a letter with the nominal tape length, mostly above the tab part. Examples M-15, A-30, H-45, W-15, T-30, K-45, etc.
Locations
