Maxell LN-60 (c. 1979)
Not much is documented about the Maxell LN-60. Everything verifiable comes from a single tape roundup. HI-Fi-Stereo-Buyers (January 1979, p.20) listed the LN-60 at $2.55 in Maxell's LN line, alongside the LN-46 at $2.30, the LN-90 at $3.90, and the LN-120 at $5.20. The same listing says the LN tapes were made on a tensilized polyester base and recommends the line as a best all-around tape choice.
Past that entry, the record is blank. The source gives no playing time, coating formulation, or bias recommendation, and no production dates, packaging details, or later market history have turned up. It was a plain cassette from a major tape maker, on sale in early 1979.
