A good friend of mine was giving away his 8-track collection and two nice 8-track players. Well realistic and akai. To bad his tastes was a little different than mine in music. But still 7 boxes of 8-tracks. In different conditions.
As for my 8-track history. When I was a young boy. I found a 8-track player at a yard sale. Top of the line for its time. Including a feature I have yet to find. Fast play. I assume for dubbing onto another deck? Never did figure it out. Well anyway. Turned it on one day. No go, no work, got power and it wasn't the belt. So I trashed it. Don't feel bad. I only had a few 8-tracks. I grew up in a time when CD's was new, Tapes was the thing and even in my first truck. I played tapes and thus, everybody was getting ride of there 8-tracks. So I picked up pink floyd, ac/dc, etc, etc.
Good times. Even if it was all used.
later,
Josh
