..and you can you still do editing with these as you can do with open reel. RCA had it pretty well with this format, but the Philips Cassette format killed this RCA format .. as did with JVC's Laserdisc killed RCA's CED videodisc.

You can still find blank tapes like in Wal-Mart, Office Max, Target, or in yard sales.
