Mine are long gone but I still have a weird experience when I listen to those songs that I used to have on 8track. As I am listening to the song I can remember the point where a song would fade out while the track was changing. Particularly true of songs from Styx's Grand Illusion. Anybody else have that same experience? ------------------ |

Kat Dreamer.....yes, I too remember where the stops were in several songs I had on 8 track.....while living in China I bought a bunch of "HI Tech" stereo equipment to record my own 8 track tapes.....talk about a pain in the a$$....trying to time all the channels so the songs didn't go over the allotted time, and still use all the tape...it was a nightmare....I can still remember how many minutes and seconds some songs were.....it's a SICKNESS This message has been edited by tangled up in BLUE on 01-28-2004 at 10:46 PM |

I still have my 8 track Pioneer deck and tapes stored in a box in my closet. Last time I played it, it was mounted in my 69 Charger (383 / 4 speed ..wish I still had that car!)..that I owned when I graduated from high school in 1972. Still have my reverb unit too! Remember those...loved the "boom" it made every time I crossed railroad tracks! My favorite 8 track was 3 Dog Night greatest hits, and the sound track from American Graffiti, but I think I still have about 30 tapes stored away. Maybe someday I'll remount it in an old classic car... |

....I used to have an 8 track player mounted in a '69 Charger Daytona show car ....even during the late 1980s' many people at car shows asked what it was and how it worked..... |

I still have my in home 8-track player. I also have 1, maybe 2 8-track players for my past cars. All of them work. Unfortunately, my 8-track tapes and tape case were stolen out of my truck several years back. I do still have about 3 of them that were in the house instead of in the case. Not only that, but I also have all my old 45's and even a collection of 78's, not to mention cassettes and 33's. Most of my cassettes were also stolen with my 8-tracks. ------------------   |

I chucked all mine long ago. Anyone remember 4 tracks that had a hole in the plastic case where the drive wheel used to flip into? Same size as 8 tracks. Iron Butterfly-yeah baby!!Still have some old reel to reel kicking around. |

Look in the box that you keep your 8 track's in and you'll probably find that book of matches that you had to wedge into the player to get the 8 track to play properly? It's unbelievable what was state of the art then and what we have available now. This message has been edited by tz1238 on 01-29-2004 at 05:51 AM |

Yeah, I kept a lot of my old stuff. I've got some reel-to-reels, 8 tracks, tons of cassettes (many I tape myself) and a lot of alblums & 45s. I've got one 8 track player, a turntable, a jukebox (plays 45s) and a cassette recorder. What I really want is an in car 45 record player. These were just before my day. They drained a battery pretty heavy and skipped real bad, but I remembered them being real cool when I'd cruise the drive-ins with my Dad in the early 60s. Remember the FM converters? ------------------ |

I did have mine and two players too. I ran across them one day and tried playing them. The tapes were so old many broke. The ones that didn't break sounded awful. Even VHS tapes only have a 10 year shelf life. I tried paying some of our older (20 years) VHS movies. The picture was still good but the sound was awful. |

Yes, I still have a box of 8-tracks. Like Marty, saw them last year while searching for somethig else. Had several 8-track tape players. Last one was in my 1968 Corvette Roadster with Black Vinyl Hardtop, 427-435 Tri-Power with an L-88 cam, American Torque-thrusts, and Goodyear Polyglas Tires. Those were the good ole' days. Listening to Smokie Robinson, Johnny Rivers, and Creedence Clearwater Revival. Ahhhhh------Take me Back............. Dave Mills, Ed's saying your old again!! (lol) Jim |

I showed my next door neighbor's son an 8 track and a 45 last summer and he didn't know what they were. He was 20 then. He had never seen either! ------------------ |
