So I thought I would unhijack the other thread and talk about 8-tracks!
By absolute coincident my mother-in-law sent me an old player. She loves garage sales. It is just a cube with a speaker on each side. Volume, balance, and tone sliding knobs. A handle on top. You can plug it into 110vAC or 12vDC. Also has 2 RCA plugs in back for external speakers.
I only have a Beatles tape and it sounds pretty good! I had to fix the big flywheel inside. It was sticky. Also fixed the speaker switch and cleaned the head.
I also have a Platters tape but the sponge that presses it against the head is gone. Is there a cheap fix? Also, the tape is stretched in a big loop outside the case. How can you reel it back in?
