Description
Here is what I know about this. The collection came from an estate sale of an Austiran born Immigrant to the US who was also a university professor. At the estate sale were tons of extremely high end vintage electronics. How the archive came into existence I have no idea. there are 64 cassettes in the archive. I have entered the tape labels into a spreadsheet I did 25 of them just to give some insight into to the type of content on the casettes. Please see below. Inside the jacket covers are additional meticulous notation about the contents of each cassettes. Most of them were recorded between 1977 and 1982. The notation is in English but features german language characters on names that have been entered. The cases and jackets are in immaculate condition. You can tell that this was a treasured archive collection. I have researched a lot and cannot seem to find anything similar anywhere. I have no idea about the value of this work so I have decided to let ebay decide. I am starting the auction at .99 cents. With a reserve at the value of blank media. 64 tapes. (VERY LOW).
Here is a spreadsheet of sample info on typed labels applied to each cassette. The notes are much more in depth. see pics. There is clean and extensive additional info on the jackets of each cassette. Please see pics for samples. This is just the first 25 or so cassettes that I pulled out as a sample. also notes such as DBX encoded, EQ - 70 Msec, Dym Exp. 1.0 etc.

64 Cassettes is remarkably heavy and I want to protect them when shipping them. And the box will need to be quite large. For this reason the shipping and handling will be 20$
