My first guess was 'ho-hum, somewhere in the bowels of China and who cares'.

Then I noticed the Vietnamese media name and thought, 'oh, it's in Vietnam. A little more interesting.'

But it's in Springfield Missouri. What?

They have Revox(!) components.

The label printer is affixed with duct tape.

They have equipment from 1938. It's fully depreciated :-)

I bought a bunch of cassette tapes earlier this year from Tapeline (tapeline.info). Based in Stockport, Cheshire, UK. Bought both custom-length blank cassettes (for replacing broken ZX Spectrum game cassette tapes), and cassette boxes (single and jewel case).

Rather cool, we do all sorts of interesting things in flyover country, Springfield, MO is 70 miles east of where I was born, raised, and have retired to.
