Where is this?

I know there are some guys in the Netherlands who have bought some of
the Emtec machinery, and who were gearing up to make high grade cassettes,
but making 1/4" is a different ball game.

Who are these folks and have you got a phone number?

Thanks Dale and to all of us in our "pinchers" at best. If you or anyone
out there that can also lobby for 1/2" format tape I think that format
is viable also. I own and operate a publishing and writers house and
48 tracks running (all 1/2") plus digital. And think of all the Tascam,
Fostex, Scullys, et al.

Good Luck To All,

"I am currently researching about the European production and delivery
situation for prof. audio mag tape (2"-1"-1/2"-1/4") and I received
news today that the remaining assets of EMTEC, Germany (formerly BASF
Magnetics) have been bought and secured by a company which will
announce the deal with now-insolvent EMTEC later next week.

So if anybody in need for "fresh" 2"-1"-1/2"-1/4" audio studio mag tape
from EMTEC please contact former EMTEC exec. J=FCrgen Heimbach

by email

(his cell phone nr. +49.172.567 82 11)

He promised me to redirect incoming inquiries to the company who has
bought the remaining assets on a first come first serve basis.

Rumours are still ongoing that the Dutch company MPO B.V. in Oosterhout
(which bought some of the hardware manufacturing assets of the
EMTEC/AGFA mag tape manufacturing site in Munich) will not only
continue to produce magnetic tape for the compact audio cassette but
has also plans to start production in other mag tape gauges for studio
and mastering purposes. But access to chemicals seems to be the current
issue. So if there is somebody out there who could help with chemical
resources for prof. audio manufactuaring, I am sure this would help the
current situation regarding to help continue prof. audio magnetic tape.

Hope this info helps some people urgently in need for mag tape.

If anybody do know about the current situation about mag film
(perforated magnetic polyester film in 16, 17.5, 35 mm gauges), please
let me/us know.
