World's largest 8-track collection

[@danieldaniels7571]

I just suddenly realized how inadequate my 8-track collection is

[@danieldaniels7571]

@CARPENTERS COLLECTOR I have several hundred, but still, nothing close to this video.

[@ACommenterOnYouTube]

I got 185, i thought that was a lot

[@danieldaniels7571]

@@ACommenterOnKZbin I have more, but that most definitely is a lot.

I HAVE A CHEVY CELEBRITY EUROSPORT COUPE WITH A CASSETTE AND 8 TRACK PLAYER, I NEED THESE

[@jonathanterrebonne]

Didn't know that a Chevy Celebrity had an eight track player, much less a cassette and eight track player!

[@MrWolfSnack]

Aftermarket purchase I'm sure. They would screw into the dashboard and just kind of hang out there. @@jonathanterrebonne

I wonder if has the 8 track “games” that came with the toy robot and others that acted as a guide to board games?…

[@jasonw6688]

Love that collection! No way I'll hit that number but kudos to that dude's passion and focus to have such a collection. 🤘🏻🤘🏻 My little 8-track library is microscopic in comparison. lol

So is mine J Will, so is mine.

8-track tapes are amazing! They're so fun to collect, they're fun to fix, and they actually sound really good when you have good quality tapes and equipment. I've had my Zenith Allegro all-in-one unit for 12 years and it still plays perfectly. It has an 8-track recorder, record player and stereo receiver, along with about 80 tapes.

This guy needs to start an 8 track museum and KZbin channel

[@glasscleaner4439]

This deserves WAY more credit and views.

[@jeanluccirillo4562]

cool l like this 8 track and 8 track player , but is not aviable now in europe

[@jasonw6688]

You can find players and 8-tracks on eBay.

[@Johnlindsey289]

Let’s hope beavis and butthead don’t go near it. If you seen that episode you’ll get the joke

[@rleproductions2834]

Too many here, but damn! I would die to have 100!

[@anthonybarnes2355]

Far out man ! Do you have any quad tapes ?

[@gregoryleo4640]

Nice collection! But some of the 8 track tapes appear to be in rough shape, and they are missing the original boxes. I see a truck stop bootleg 8 track there too.

[@dennisdemark8151]

... enjoy this video very much indeed...I have about 2,000 8-track tapes along with a dozen or so players... I enjoy playing them immensely ☺️

[@ralphreinhardt6020]

Very cool !! 😎👍

[@elcheeko8402]

Wow. Kudos to him for preserving the history and the players. That's so cool. After he passes. At least he knows 8tracks will still be in circulation to the market.

[@haihuachen2627]

do not waste your money.

[@felinoaaron846]

here is the point- after the master tape ORIGINAL MASTER THAT SPEED MIGHT BE TO 30 ips. the next master tape for pressing is to 15 ips. commercialy 8 track has a better quality than a CD or an LP. the only cons is the tedius to maintain and keep it playing. splicing and remplacing the pad and foil. but 8 track is an amazing format that really beats. 8 track quality, for example is the same as a SACD

[@MrWolfSnack]

8 tracks only need repair because you need to realize they are 50 years old and have been abused and abandoned for 40 of those years. Everything rots. Once you clean the tape and put new foil, felt, and rollers on, they are good for the rest of your lifetime. You only have to repair them once.

[@felinoaaron846]

@@MrWolfSnack yes always splice new foils and pad. keep a good and serviced 8t player and voila

[@oscar3117]

People, it's cool that he collected so many cassettes! But tell me, which tape is considered the first?

[@adeeponionbrah]

I would travel to see that collection! You go Bob!

[@kbarrett63]

@boystowndj you need to get a hold of this guy's library :)

[@phillipallen3030]

How Awesome I lost my collection as a kid in the 70s loved em

[@bobsbits5357]

[@prowlermadmax2]

Do you have the machines that made 8-track tape?

[@dennisdemark8151]

Yes!

Hoarder

[@constancedementhopkins1430]

just because someone has a collection of certain items does not make them a HOARDER

@@constancedementhopkins1430 exactly!!

[@jasonw6688]

I disagree. He's a collector of something he's passionate about. He's not just piling up a lot of useless junk for the sake of piling it up. That's a hoarder.

[@ACommenterOnYouTube]

Educate yourself on the meaning of hoarder before using it

I just tracked this video down from one from 11 years ago and he had 61000. I want to see if he will buy my 8 track player and I live in southern Illinois also
