Alex, Thanks for the reminder - The 8-Track MONSTER!

And without any further adieu, here it is! Prepare yourselves for the one, the only, "THE MARK 8!!!" Now, I know it's not the " Unaffordable Health Care Act " but it will just have to do.

Wow I didn't know that existed. I've never seen a player for more than one cartridge before.

5-Tracks at the SAME time!?

WOW! I've been waiting until i could get on the computer to type this, I've been on mobile all day 

 


Without further adieu, here's my own Sears SINGLE 8-Track player! I got this from a friend a year or so ago. however, it cannot play 8-Tracks! 

The same friend that  gave it to me tore out the speaker jack in the back of the console when he was my age in the 1970s!

 


My camera looks like it's from the 1970s too, do you know what i have to go through to get pictures off a reel-to-reel tape!? 

 You can select one of 4 tracks to play with that little green light to the left. it has a record player jack and a FM radio built in! the radio tuner glows this wonderful, healthy shade of green!

Alex,

that's a shame! Is there anyone in your area which can rebuild it?

 

[super-sweeper]

I've tried to, once i got it to work but only at a VERY low volume. I need to do more research and find a wiring diagram!

I know a repairman who gets his schematics off an archive site , somewhere on the internet. I'll check with him and give you the information, if I can get a hold of him - probably early this coming week.

 

[super-sweeper]

Calem that would be so kind of you, I'm surprised there's still such a thing as an 8-Track repairman! I've had 2 8-Tracks with 40s music on them i could finally enjoy! 

 

[marks_here]

Not an 8 track player but close to it & it still works!!!

 

[cb123]

Alex,

No problem, glad to do it! Marks_here, that's the original " Radio Car " WOW! Cruising the Blvd. doing the jibber jabber...that's alright!

 

[tolivac]

Is the 8-track MONSTER a Changer?Never seen this,either.Would be amazing to see how it works.

 

[super-sweeper]

Oh my gosh Mark, you have a CAR PHONE! That's the ultimate car-accessory! Does it still work? I wonder where i can find a rotary model! 

 


Forget the 8-Tracks, Forget the Cassette, I can top you all!!!!!! 

 

[marks_here]

Yes Alex, it still works all but the speaker under the hood which I have to replace. I loved that part when it was working especially at the Walmart as I'd sit & wait for heifers to cross saying through it, "cattle crossing" & making the odd fart sound ...I've got to get that fixed!!! Wood be so appropriate for here!

 

[super-sweeper]

That's the coolest thing, Mark! 

 


I'm sure your car was the best-looking Cadillac that Wal-Mart has ever seen! 

 

[marks_here]

I should get one of those horns that plays different melodies..

 

[marks_here]

Alex this is what you mean

 

[super-sweeper]

Sure is, Mark! Now where to find one!

 

 

[cb123]

LOOK, I FOUND A SALE ON 8-TRACKS!
