I would not consider buying this unless you are using a machine in  PAL.  
 
 
The problem is that we do not know how much it has been used.  As you  use 
it, there is a deterioration of the quality.  The tape stretches a bit  and 
thus after about a hundred uses we would throw it out.  This was due to  
start and stop with boost plus the head hitting the tape in the guide.  But  
what we did was to cut one minute off the reel and use that every day.   Then 
save the other 5 minutes for use later.  It was a way to extend the  life of 
a test tape.  There are multiple test tapes.  The vertical  bars was used 
to set the guide.  We also had the Audio Alignment Tape to  insure proper 
record and playback optimization and frequency response.   Then there was the 
Alignment Tape that had all the signals to verify the signal  system.  These 
two were the ones that were used the least.
