Sounds like a good fit for a garage system. I have a Wollensack record/play deck setup in a basement room. More of a curiosity especially to see crazy titles like Black Sabbath on 8-track. I recently picked up a Bert Jansch title on 8track :albino:

There's that. The cartridges clearly weren't made to last and they were used a lot in all-weather places like cars. Also not made for high fidelity listening either. :)

many years since I've spun this, tasty guitar as usual from Buchanan. Synthesizer touches at time which I could do without but easily overtaken by Roy's monster playing. Down By The River in nice.
 
Duff - Believe In Me, CD...just finished



Currently playing

I have some led zeppelin 8 tracks which look like they spent most of their life in a car and they play fine, but I understand the fidelity is not the greatest. I still appreciate the format though and enjoy using them from a vintage point of view. They do last if you maintain your machine and look after the tapes themselves.
 
Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood - Nancy & Lee

great combination of Hazlewood's quirky songs/croaking and Nancy's singing.

Deep Purple - Machine Head - Quadraphonic - Australian pressing

I have found a way to decode the quadraphonic signal with my computer and transmit it to two separate amplifiers (one for front speakers and the other for the rear speakers), the result was nothing short of magical, very impressed and hearing things I have never heard before on this album, brilliant! Hoping to find a quadraphonic copy of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the moon, will be very interesting indeed.
