TDK D-30
Little is documented about the TDK D-30. The archive's research file for it is empty. No production dates, specifications, design details, or prices have been confirmed from any source.
Here is what the record shows. TDK made an audio product called the D-30. That's all. The period-press fragments gathered for this page don't carry the model forward. The surviving text of Audio-Collection (undated, p.67) covered Uher Report reel-to-reel decks at a Wokingham dealer's exhibit. The other fragments are blank-tape buying guides listing TDK's SA-X, HD, HF, and AD-S cassettes. One 1988 guide lists the HF 46 at $1.49, the HF 60 at $1.79, and the HF 90 at $2.29 (HiFI-Stereo, March 1988, p.79), but none of these listings mention a D-30. One 1995 fragment in Mix-Magazine (January 1995, p.39) does include a "D-30" with an LCD readout and a $7,999 price. It turns up in a professional-audio roundup and carries no TDK attribution. Whether it is the same model is unconfirmed, and nothing in the text ties it to this one.
So this page is a placeholder. The model existed, and the paper trail hasn't surfaced yet. A catalog page, an advertisement, or a manual scan would be enough to build it out.
