How to Tell

• Most tapes duplicated at GTK Duplicating Co. were duplicated on cassettes manufactured in either Hong Kong 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.
• Certain 1997-2005 tapes were duplicated on cassettes manufactured in Korea.
