Maxell LNC-120
Not much is documented about the Maxell LNC-120. The record shows one solid period sighting: a 1977 price directory in HI-Fi-Stereo-Buyers (1977, p.178) lists it in Maxell's low-noise cassette line at $5.00, with 60 minutes per side. That makes it a full 120-minute cassette, the longest of the LNC family. The same listing prices the LNC-46 at $2.10 (23 min/side), the LNC-60 at $2.35 (30 min/side), and the LNC-90 at $3.75 (45 min/side). By 1979, mail-order ads were still promoting Maxell among the major tape brands, but those pages have nothing more on the LNC-120.
Known specs from that 1977 listing:
- Type: low-noise audio cassette
- Runtime: 60 minutes per side (120 minutes total)
- 1977 list price: $5.00
No production dates, packaging details, or additional specifications have turned up in period sources.
