What 8-Track tapes do you have, and what is the player that plays them?

I think it's the tapes.  There is a splice in the tape under that little bit of foil that triggers the channel change and I think over time the adhesive holding the foil tape over the splice just gives up.

Thanks! I'm going to take one of the broken ones apart and check it out.

When we bought our 69 it came with an aftermarket FM/8 track player. The usual kind that mounts under the dash and it works just fine. Of course I pulled it outta the car for the resto and went with a SecretAudio system. Now it's just taking up space in a garage cabinet.

I was rummaging through my '73, and looked through the tapes I have. Not all are still good, but It got me to thinking about the variety of music/artists we listened to back in the day. Lets see your collection and the player you use (in your car, that is!  ). I'll start.

I have some of those as well. That Tubes "What do you want from Live" is great. I play them in the garage in one of those combo record/radio/cassette/8-track units.

Cool thread,.. that Tubes one has gotta be right at the end of the 8-Track era...   

Apparently, Columbia House offered 8 tracks long after they disappeared in stores. My buddy was ordering them into the early eighties. He had a couple Van Halen albums on 8 track and I would've sworn that was long after the 8 track went the way of the buggy whip.

Post a picture of that one, please? There's a certain one I'm looking for... I had back in the day..Don't remember the brand... But I'll know it when I see it.
