Re: [ARSCLIST] Scotch 200 box photograph -Del's Response

Richard,

It is a 5" reel and it very well could be from 1960.  It contains a 
recording of a British radio program about the Old Vic Theatre.  There 
is no date listed.  It also says "Made in England" on the back of the 
box.  The gentleman that made the recording was living in England at 
that time.  The tape is in excellent condition.
