I never owned 8-track tape back in the day. I was a cassette guy. Reasons: Cassettes are smaller, so you can carry more of them on you. You can't rewind an 8-Track tape to relisten to any given part immediately. You have to wait until the tape cycles through. Most importantly, unless any given full song ends on either of the 4 tracks, there's an awkward "chunk" sound where the song exits the track it began in and resumed in the next. All that said, kudos to you for your repair work. Younger folks will never know the relationship between the cassette tape and a pencil 😉

Thank you for that review, very much appreciated. And definitely let me know what you think of the colored foam. I do cut those a little taller than the gray pads to make up for the softer foam. So that should prevent any crosstalk and fidelity issues. They are definitely a lot of fun 🙂

Hello, my goal here is to educate people on how to repair 8 tracks on their own. I do like to repair for other people and I don't charge, however it becomes quite expensive because of shipping . That said if you want to cover that I'd be glad to fix your tapes but just to forewarn you that it becomes expensive for shipping. That's why I've been hesitant to do anything over the mail and prefer to do things in person. You can email me at [email protected], if you still want to pursue anything.

You can always try pulling a few wraps from the center and then re looping it back on from the outside, that might loosen it up a bit.

I've just found your channel. Love the idea of collecting and playing 8-tracks just like back in the day! :) Can you tell me what tools I would need? What do you use for your replacement pads that you seem to always replace in the top half of the 8-track? Looks like I'll need a Heat Gun and some tools to open the 8-track tabs. Is it realistic to assume that I will be able to find some old 8 tracks and a working 8-track player to enjoy some old tunes? Do you also repair the 8-track players? Thanks. Love it! Curt
@h2ofield
@h2ofield 2 ай бұрын
Hi Curtis and thanks for your enthusiasm/great comment. A basic Flathead screwdriver, razor blade, sensing foil and splicing tape, also maybe something else to pry things open with. You don't really need a heat gun, you can use a hair dryer or just leave it in the sun for a few minutes, as warming it up loosens up the plastic. About the pads I purchased them off of a fella on eBay called '8 track_tapes_and_repair' but I also deal with another fella called '8trackavenue.com', so you can try them. As for finding tapes and players, try the yard sales, second hand stores, Facebook marketplace, always ask around, but don't pay the big prices for anything, find it cheap. Go back and watch my playlist as I have over 100 videos up there and you can watch them and pick up some info. Thanks again!
