How to Tell

Most tapes from this duplicator do not have any form of printing on the cassette. However, a few tapes from the 1990s (with the so far latest known use being 1995) had a one, two or three digit number written in dark red ink on the right side of the cassette shell.
One known copy of Where the Wild Things Are... and other Maurice Sendak stories as well as a few EP/SLP mode tapes by this duplicator had a few extra seconds of black screen along with the "fading rainbow" following the static at the very end. A rumbling sound is heard in the linear track as it goes down, but it's usually too far at the beginning or end to be played on a normal VCR. One known copy of Biography: Santa Claus also had some black screen following the static at the very end, but the "fading rainbow" was too far at the end for it to appear when played on a normal VCR.
Numerous tapes by this duplicator have a grey ink label.
Tapes duplicated here do not have anything in the vertical blanking interval.
