8 track/LP price comparisons by
DeserTBoB
Anyone know for sure if Zappa released the GTOs' "Permanent Damage"
album on 8 track through MGM on the "US Straight" vanity label? I'm
curious to see what a GTOs 8 track would fetch price wise, since VG
copies of the LPs are getting over $200 in various places, and one guy
has a NM copy...

my 8 track comments/questions by
Roy Tony
I didn't know there exited a newsgroup dedicated to 8 tracks.
So many things I'd like to talk about
I remember as a kid getting my fingers completely black from
trying to repair a tape. It took me several days to figure out

Machine slows down by
Roy Tony
I have a good looking 8 track player by Miida (model S910) with fine
tuning knob. After 8 minutes of playing the speed suddenly slows.
Two minutes later it slows even more and remains at that speed
forever. Both the sound quality or pilot lamps are unefected - just the
motor speed.

mp3 to 8 track foibles by
DeserTBoB
Two notoriously nasty formats...8 track tape and mp3...what happens
when you put one onto another? Actually, one sort of corrects the
other...sorta.
The aural problems with 8-t-t are already well documented, but many do
not realize the nastiness that mp3 (actually MPEG 2 Audio Layer...

Digital/schmigital...analog tuner outshines new Blaupunkt by
DeserTBoB
Thanks to another lister, I got the line-up chart for the cheapie
Panasonic AM/FM/8 in my "grocery getter", and dug the sweeper and
scope out to do a full alignment on the tuners. After spending a
little time tweaking the IF skirts to perfection, I put the whole

continue to decline further. Latest is a pile of 15 junk blanks, all

Panasonic car deck surprise...again by
DeserTBoB
I'd just recently lined up the RF/IF stages on my Panasonic QC-969/EU
in dasher, and did a standard head alignment. I decided, since I was
getting anal about things in the radio anyway, I'd check out the phase
at 10 KHz with a scope, just to see how good/bad the gap scatter was
on the head. ...

Homework can express an 8-track mind! by
Jonny the 8-Tracker!
Crisis: I decided to write a sonnet in iambic pentameter for a required
extra minor project in Literature to follow up on reading Shakespeare's
"The Merchant of Venice." (Entertaining, if hard to understand.)
Realization: No subject was required, so I picked my own!
