I saw some Maxell's that were TY at Walgreens yesterday, anyone finding spindles "Made in Japan"? They are also a different shape than the other spindles.
Most of the Maxell 80min spindles that I've seen (mostly at Walgreen's too), were Ritek, althought after using a few of them, I actually got better results than from 48x-rated Fuji T-Ys, in terms of very low C1 error counts (and zero C2 errors).
I've also seen some other packaging, not locally, of "Maxell CD-R 80 Pro", note the "Pro" at the end, those are supposedly T-Y. Does the packaging on the spindles you saw, say "Pro" on them? Do they have the "traditional" T-Y screw-top spindles, that Fuji T-Ys used to have?
