A few years ago, I found this blank cassette at my favourite op shop, a Dick Smith brand Type I "EDR" C90

Dick Smith is an electronics retailer in Australia, similar to Radio Shack. Until 2002 they provided almost everything you could want in electronics, even hobby and DIY kits, as well as all the accessories you could poke a stick at. This cassette appears to be early-mid 1980's. It is sol old it is actually "Made In Australia"!
It is still sealed, so I've been tempted to flog it off on eBay to see how much a "vintage" blank cassette fetches. (I got it for free!) On the other hand, if I sell it, I won't have it any more. I'd kind of like to crack it open, look at it, record on it to see if it works and upload a picture of it to www.tapedeck.org - but once that's done it loses all of it's value. What do you think? And has anybody got any blank cassettes that are not made in Japan/Korea/Malaysia?
