TDK AR-100

Little is documented about the TDK AR-100. The one solid period reference is a classified ad in Audio (May 1992, p.138), which offered blank reel and cassette stock and listed the TDK AR-100 at $1.39, alongside the TDK SA-X 60 at $1.99. The ad puts it in TDK's blank-tape lineup, priced below the SA-X. Whether it was a cassette or an open-reel tape, the listing doesn't say.

Beyond that ad, the record is essentially empty. No specifications, production years, packaging details or magazine reviews have surfaced. The "100" in the model number hints at a C100 cassette, which would be a reasonable reading for a budget TDK tape of the era, but that is an inference, not a documented fact.
