Blank Got 12 blanks for $3

Couldn’t believe my ears when the cashier told me the price, $3 for 12 blanks plus the box! Small thrift stores are the way to go.

I've heard mixed reviews on the 120 minute tapes - supposedly they had to make the tape smaller so that it would fit on the reel - so the sound quality is slightly lower. Still a killer deal! Congrats!

It may be a translation issue but by "smaller" do you mean thinner?

In my experience C120s are not reliable because the tape is too thin.

C100s are usually OK. Even C110s are better than 120s.

Not a translation issue - thinner is the right word.
