Sold many BASF tapes up until the mid 80's, Pro II is not one I recollect. Appears to be a product marketed in the USA c.1980/81 according to 45worlds database.

Never really a fan of BASF after a lot of issues with their 1970's offerings such as dropout and oxide shedding, but from about 1980 they overcame these problems. BASF CR-E II was excellent and correctly biassed did marginally outperform many contemporary pseudochrome formulations.
