Regardless, some great additions to my movie collection. Don't have any of these. Probably should get a better overview of what's available on modern formats or laserdisc for potential upgrades in the future. The favorites in this lot has to be The Refrigerator and Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue. Seriously.... killer refrigerator? Anti-drug video for kids? I smell some good cheese here! let me know how Prime Risk was? Good or bad? Is that a juvenile movie similar to Wargames?

after years of keeping an eye out for one, i finally... -FINALLY- netted an NOS original hard-case mid/late 80's MAXELL RX-PRO T120; beside my 1984/1987 TDK HD PRO/HD-X PRO, i'll finally have examples of the very top grade of VHS blank offered by both of the two Japanese magnetic media juggernauts, -two of the very best VHS blanks they had ever produced- both from their firms' mid/late-1980's production era...

Wow, check out that gold sticker on the bottom Maxell. Cool stuff.
It's interesting they were marketed for professionals but surely actual professionals (TV stations, archivists etc) would have been using at least S-VHS/Betacam etc.
I know the build, packaging and feel of the tapes, as well as the picture/sound/durability was actually better on pro tapes, always made in Japan using the best, but was the marketing for "pro" VHS tapes actually as I suspect directed at high-end consumers? Did professionals actually use these?

all these luxury "PRO" type VHS blanks were pretty squarely marketed towards what SONY ended up coining the "Prosumer" the more demanding,discerning, well-heeled breed of professionally-minded consumers of A/V products that the TOTL VHS/S-VHS/BETA/ED-BETA "Editing" kitchen-sink decks of the mid/late-1980's were intended to appeal towards... I see, thanks for this reply I didn't see it before
