hi
I´m not certain......the webpage is not ready and the text in the Ebay auction was in German but I didn´t see this mentioned, so I guess stamped
anyway I can determine by just looking?
the nab core is cnc´d from one solid alu piece it says...

here´s the original text from auction

Willkommen bei www.tonbandspule.de


wir freuen uns, das Sie uns gefunden haben

wir fertigen für Sie hochwertige Tonbandspulen auf Studiotechnik-Niveau

der Kern in der Mitte ist kein gewöhnlicher Plastikkern sondern präzise aus Aluminium gefräst,
damit ist ein sehr präziser Rundlauf gewährleistet


Wir haben was gegen LANGEWEILE auf der Bandmaschine
die meisten unserer Spulen sind 2farbig und viele Spulen sind oben und unten ANDERS


und deshalb gehört zu jeder Spule auch ein wertiger, dekorativ gefasster Umkarton

Tonbandspule Durchmesser aussen 300 mm


Sie kaufen mit diesem Angebot eine Tonbandspule / Leerspule in einem wertigen Umkarton
für Studiobandmaschinen (z.B. STUDER A80 oder A812MK2, A820, Telefunken M15A u.a.)
Bitte beachten: passt aufgrund des Aussen-Durchmessers nicht mehr für die üblichen Heimtonbandgeräte !!!






die Spule in diesem Angebot beinhaltet die folgenden Features:

- Deckblech "rot" eloxial
- Rückseitiges Blech schwarz eloxiert
Das rückseitige Blech ist leicht versetzt montiert "Windrad-Design"
kann aber auch deckungsgleich ummontiert werden (die 6 Löcher dann genau übereinander)
wenn Sie uns bei der Bestellung in "Nachricht an den Verkäufer" einen Hinweis geben,
bekommen Sie die Spulen auch gerne "deckungsgleich" von uns montiert geliefert
.... die Geschmäcker sind bekanntlich doch sehr verschieden ....
- gefertigt aus 1,2 mm Aluminium

- Kern "NAB" aus massiv Aluminium gefräst und schwarz eloxiert für 1/4 Zoll Band/ "Senkel"

- geliefert in einem wertigen weißen Umkarton aus Vollpappe, Deckel aussen mit
hochwertigem Dekor-Einband bezogen / innen Papier weiß

- Die Einzelteile unserer Spulen werden hochwertig mit satten Farben eloxiert
kleine Farbabweichungen sind im Eloxalprozess möglich, und müssen akzeptiert werden.
Achtung Tonbänder und auch leere Tonbandspulen sollten kühl und trocken gelagert werden.
Bänder sowie Spulen bitte nicht länger direkter Sonnenstrahlung (UV) aussetzen.

- sowohl unsere Spulen wie auch die Kartons sind 100% made in Germany
_________________________________________________________________________________________________


Sie brauchen mehr... / andere Farbkombination... / Sie hätten gern ein eigenes Layout...
- fragen Sie uns, bei entsprechender Stückzahl ist vieles möglich
gerne fertigen wir (soweit techn. machbar) auch genau "Ihre" Spule

und ja klar: auch die Klappkartons gibt's in verschiedenen Farben, teilweise sogar ab Lager

Welcome to www.tonbandspule.de


We are pleased that you have found us

We manufacture high quality reels of tape on studio technology level

the core in the center is not an ordinary plastic core but precisely milled aluminum,
so is a very precise concentricity guarantees


We do not like BOREDOM on the tape machine
most of our coils 2farbig and many coils are ANDERS up and down


and therefore belongs to each coil a valent, decorative aggregate carton

Tape spool diameter outside 300 mm


Buy with this offer a tape spool / empty spool in a carton valent
for studio tape machines (for example, STUDER A80 or A812MK2, A820, Telefunken M15A et al)
Please note: not fit due to the outer diameter of the usual home tape recorders !!!






the coil in this package includes the following features:

- Cover plate "red" eloxial
- Rear plate black anodized
The back plate is slightly offset mounted "pinwheel" design
but can also be remounted congruent (the 6 holes then exactly one above the other)
if you give a hint to us when ordering in "message to seller"
get the coils also like to "congruent" we supplied assembled
.... Tastes obviously but very different ....
- Made of 1.2 mm aluminum

- Core "NAB" machined from solid aluminum and anodized black for 1/4 inch tape / "laces"

- Come in a white carton valent solid board, cover the outside with
quality decorative cover based / inside white paper

- The items of our coils are high quality anodized with rich colors
small color deviations in the anodizing process, and must be accepted.
Warning tapes and blank tape reels should be stored cool and dry.
Tapes and coils please no longer direct sunlight (UV) suspend.

- Both our coils as well as the cartons are 100% made in Germany
__________________________________________________ _______________________________________________


You need more ... / different color combination ... / would you like your own layout ...
- Ask us, in appropriate quantities much is possible
like we finished (where techn. doable) exactly "your" reel

and so clear: the folding cartons's in different colors, some even from stock

Thanks Gents.

I got a reply from Ralph who makes these, with the following

The whole reel is made from Aluminium,
no plastic, even not the NAB in the middle

best quality reels in fine boxes

the sheet is lasercuted
and there a lot of possibilitys in Layout and colour

we have also 1/2" tape reels and larger sizes 300mm and 14"

of course there are custom-designs possible.

easy way to go to ebay germany an look for "tonbandspule" if you want to source them.

Thanks
Neville

this guy has a mechanical industry in Bulgaria and only presses reels in periods with "free" capacity, thus he´s constantly behind ...
the quality is ok, but nothing even close to tonbandspule.de

btw for those of you who´d like to use 12,5 "reels on e.g A80...someone is selling NIB OTARI 12,5 reels of good quality on Ebay
I bought 14 to secure a little storage
