I have a unwrapped, but unused Sony cassette that doesn't say HF or anything. It just says "Sony", and does not have any particular model on it (ex: HF, EF, etc). It has the same shell as the last gen Maxell UR (made in Indonesia), same hubs, same leader tape, and even the same brown tape. All the markings seem to match each other, even the case!

It was used in my Nagaoka wonder video here:

But a question for you dear viewers:
1. What countries was this sold/marketed?
2. What does the wrapper look like?

I can answer one question for you:
Does it bias the same?

I'll bias it in this video, so watch to find out!

Update: I found it! I don't know how to update the video with the photo of the wrapper, so I just updated the thumbnail with it. Mystery solved!

Also a thread about it here:
