I got a 8 track stereo cabinet sitting down in my workshop, it looks at me sadly as..well..i have no 8 tracks. Lol. I do got LP's tho and that record player works mighty fine for such old equipment.

Thanks for reminding me to hit my thrift store tomorrow, they usually have 8 tracks for like 10 cents..heh.

Sirscrapalot - Thinks some of the old eletronics are like a good whiskey/scotch..better with age.

When the tape is wound to tight, we used to pull a bit of tape out then quickly pull more out, cant remember which direction to pull but if you pull the opposit way the tape snaps back into the cartridge good as new.

You hold the cartridge eye level and pull out enough tape to touch the floor, returning the tape into the cartridge you can pull it slowly at first but that last foot you have to give it a quick pull and get your fingers out of the way.

I suspect this youtube bunny is going to show you something totally different as the Video runs for 11 minutes.
