Hitachi Lo-D Cassettes -- A New Find

[Scorpion8]

I'm guessing this is Asian market only, since the J-card is all in Japanese. Never saw one of these until today.

WHERE ARE YOU FINDING THIS STUFF, MAN?!?!*fit* "Lo-D" was HITACHI's high-end Hi-Fi component label for the japanese market. notice it's similarity to the MAXELL XL-II/S. MAXELL's full name is in fact "HITACHI MAXELL" which means that that is a MAXELL XL-II with Lo-D dressing...
