Re: God Save the Eight-Track
I think I have a few stored down under the basment stairs! Hahahaha! Who knows what shape they are in.
My first car did not have any music in it. My brother rigged up an 8-rack player for me under the driver's seat. I cut out from a Radio Shack's advertisment for 8-track players a picture and glued it in the dash of the car. It looked real! You would not believe how many times my riders would try to press the buttons to change the song and I would reach under my seat and change to a new track! LOL!!
Great memories! Thanks Tabby.

Re: God Save the Eight-Track
We also have a bunch of 8-tracks and an 8-track player as well. Hubby has always been a fan of the ole 8-track tapes. He plays his country ones now and then. :):guitarist
Re: God Save the Eight-Track
I had no idea that they would even be playable at this point! I hope they stay flexible and you can enjoy them for many more years. I wonder if you can buy the 8-track tapes at old record stores along with some great albums. If I still had my Partridge Family tape, I'd let you have it! :yh_wink
Enjoyed your story, Lady J!
Re: God Save the Eight-Track
Oh, I have lots of them. Along with the original Atari system and 2 boxes of games.......

I think that must be worth good money to collectors. Did you ever have it priced?
PS--never had 8-track & still play vinyl sometimes.
Re: God Save the Eight-Track
I remember how to fix those. I also have one that is full of songs I learned on the guitar when I was 12. I have gained an appreciation towards Goodwill industries for the seemingly never ending supply of old 8-track players for 4-5 bucks.
