And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
My better 3/4 found a brand new, still in the shrinkwrap Audiovox underdash 8 track unit at a garage sale for $5 a couple years ago. It now lives & works in my 1975 Chevy van. Tapes are seriously hard to come by tho…
My 67 Shelby 350GT has an 8Track. The only tapes that were in the dash were a Red Fox tape and a truck stop comedian. Both are hilarious but dirty as hell! Bubbarust
Who thought 8 tracks were a good idea??

DeleteYeah, life was good with 8-track tapes. Until the player ate the thing. There was definitely no fixing it - you always had to buy a new tape.
ReplyDeleteI have cut away the damaged tape section and spliced the ends together.
DeleteI think the last 8 track player & tape I saw (other than a flea market) was in 1973...

ReplyDeleteLook for 8 track tapes at Estate Sales. Go to estatesales.net and enter your city.
DeleteDon't forget the matchbook or a piece of cardboard to "shim" the tape so it'll play right.
ReplyDeleteAnd the “ka-chunk” sound in the middle of long songs when the tape changes tracks. Foghat’s Slow Ride just doesn’t sound right without it.
