no idea where to put it so I' begging here. I'm looking for some 8 tracks. Don't really care what they are just something cool I can listen to in my factory 8 track player that I intend to rock until it quits. I know you folks have some laying around.
 
I see a box of them at our flea market ever so often. Never paid much attention to them though, but I figure they are cheap there.
 
Next time you go pick me up a few country or rock please sir. Gladly pay you for them. I just want some to play

I sure will, what's a good price? $1-3 a piece?
Kids and I might go tomorrow if it's not raining, will go next weekend for sure.
 
Send me on down. I just think it will be cool to have it wired in behind a double DIN GPS unit in my dash....LOL.

"Lemme' just throw this 8 TRACK in and get us some tunes!"
 
I think I have some 8 tracks stashed in my garage too--if I remember right I had a few still in the shrink wrapper ,brand new...I know I had one of Jerry Reed & Chet Atkins in the mix,and some old 70's rock tapes...

I also found a new AM/FM 8 track player for a car or truck ,that was never installed,it was on a store display wall at one parts store I worked at,I got a bunch of old "new" radios from it,but thought I had sold them all..might still have a used "Spark-O-Matic" AM/FM 8 track too that was in several of my older vehicles..

I think I still have your address ...
 
I have checked the flea market the last few weekends but all I have found is some disco type music and...kinda figured you would not want that.
 
he!!, that stuff never made it out of the 80's.. :haha: had some cool ones for my first couple cars, Ted, Smith, Sab, Zep, etc...... :saweet:

I finally thru out all my cassette related stuff about 5 yr's ago....

that's cool.. i often look back on them fondly with those goofy players with the smash handle on top! I guess there has to be some market, somewhere for those... :haha: pretty rare compared to vinyl... i have 2 milkcrates of vinyl in the attic... did you try eghey?
 
Not really, I just thought some of these old fogeys round here might have some they didn't use or want. I like the duality of the old versus the new. Truck will have a Dual Din GPS head unit to run the tunes. Then on one of the accessory inputs a damn 8 track player rocking some AC/DC... Gotta love that. I'm all about new and technologically hip but I also think that old tech has a place. I can tell you that 8 tracks don't skip like CD's when you're doing ridiculous things in the woods. My dad and I rolled a Scout 80 over on the lid climbing a stack of logs about 9 ft high. We climbed out and got the tractor to turn it over. The first thing I remember is that 8 track player in the truck was still playing when we got back to the truck. I love that crap.

If you're prepared to listen to it blasted out of my truck 24-7 at BB then go right ahead. I'll be sure and tell everyone it was your requested music....LOL. Stayin' Alive at 135 DB out in the desert. What's not to like.
