Story of TDK Golden Cassette Tape
(derived from a Japanese website : compactcassettes)
Story goes like this ::
TDK / Golden Cassette (1978)
Product : Golden Cassette
When : 1978
Tape Type : Type I
It is a prize cassette for "TDK Golden CassettePresent", and it is not a replica but an actual usable cassette.
The "TDK Golden Cassette Present" was a sales promotion campaign forusers that ran from September to December 1978, and applied by sending three"Quality Assurance Marks" printed on TDK cassette index cards. Then,3,000 people would win this cassette by lottery every month.(A campaignwith the same name was also carried out in 1973, but at that time 12"Quality Assurance Marks" were required.) In addition, the cassettegiven to the winners will contain the desired characters (alphabet or number,10 I was able to have it stamped (within letters).
The color of the cassette is gold, but the material ofthe half is not metal, but plastic with a gold-plated surface.
The case of the cassette is also specially made, and the inside and outside arelined with navy blue cloth (the outside is velor-like), making the goldcassette inside look even more gorgeous.
As an aside, in addition to this campaign, TDK held a "Cassette LifePresent" every year in which you could receive a free gift if youcollected a certain number of "Quality Assurance Marks". I think thatmany users were reluctant to use the "Quality Assurance Mark" intheir applications.
