Years ago, Jay McKnight made a 400 hz tone cassette for me. It's come in handy many times.

I should think anyone dealing professionally with cassettes would have a Dolby reference tape. Though I'm a rank amateur, I have a pair of them and have used them often in setting up decks to transfer tapes. IIRC, the tone is 1 KHz, but regardless of the frequency it is recorded at reference level and the two (from different sources) continue to check out against one another after decades of occasional use.
