My first guess was &#x27;ho-hum, somewhere in the bowels of China and who cares&#x27;.<p>Then I noticed the Vietnamese media name and thought, &#x27;oh, it&#x27;s in Vietnam. A little more interesting.&#x27;<p>But it&#x27;s in Springfield Missouri. What?<p>They have Revox(!) components.<p>The label printer is affixed with duct tape.<p>They have equipment from 1938. It&#x27;s fully depreciated :-)

I bought a bunch of cassette tapes earlier this year from Tapeline (tapeline.info). Based in Stockport, Cheshire, UK. Bought both custom-length blank cassettes (for replacing broken ZX Spectrum game cassette tapes), and cassette boxes (single and jewel case).
