I can't seem to find any tapes with the test audio you mentioned. Was it more common during certain years? Was it more common on tapes produced by certain companies?
Do any cassette decks built in 1978 even support self alignment at all? I am betting that this does not and I am just hallucinating about the audio quality or remembering incorrectly or something.
