Sorry to disagree but I notice several of the responses go back to first principles i.e. how much tape passes the head in how much time. I like the continuous tone + erase-clicks a certain length of tape apart.
However, in the For Sale area, someone has snapped-up a test cassette so maybe that person could be persuaded to make a few clones. Just for the tape speed (head alignment etc being too machine dependent).
