I have had good luck scrounging around the thrifts stores... most
prerecorded tapes will do. You just need to put tape over the tab to
make 'em register as Type I. I've done the same with the old bootlegs my
pal recorded in the late 60's and early 70's. Those old Sony tapes sound
great once they are dropped into a modern shell.
good luck
