couldn't resist playing it :) ... someone made a really good taping

i'll guess it's a tape from the same family as Scotch 207 ?

Never seen one before, regular 211 is a Low noise Dynarange with polyester base.

I haven't seen it before, and i haven't the faintest idea how i got it - i would expect the SP to be standard play since it's 1200ft. long on a 7" reel.
the leader part is missing, so i have to wind the tape to verify it's genuine. And as Audiojones wrote, it's a nice reel, this one look's like brand new

211 in the US is Dynarange, Scotch's middle of the line tape then. Usually had no issues out of it except for one example which shedded. Ingjerd says the European Dynarange is equivalent to the USA made tape except for the different reel design.
