    My first guess was 'ho-hum, somewhere in the bowels of China and who cares'.

    Then I noticed the Vietnamese media name and thought, 'oh, it's in Vietnam. A little more interesting.'

    But it's in Springfield Missouri. What?

    They have Revox(!) components.

    The label printer is affixed with duct tape.

    They have equipment from 1938. It's fully depreciated :-)

    Rather cool, we do all sorts of interesting things in flyover country, Springfield, MO is 70 miles east of where I was born, raised, and have retired to.

    I bought a bunch of cassette tapes earlier this year from Tapeline (tapeline.info). Based in Stockport, Cheshire, UK. Bought both custom-length blank cassettes (for replacing broken ZX Spectrum game cassette tapes), and cassette boxes (single and jewel case).

    Did they intentionally add tape hiss to the video???
