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. ...

I see Noodles is further blowing out all his 8 track **** as his sales continue to decline further. Latest is a pile of 15 junk blanks, all used, for 66¢ apiece. Every tape in that lot is crapola except the Ampex 381 and that's obviously used; the rest are absolute crap. Used K-Mart...whoopie! ...

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 works back into the car, since I'd...

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...

Go away- go very far away. You are not cool 8-trackers, you are gay fudgepackers.

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. During the...

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 how it worked. Pulling tape out from the centre of the wheel turns the...

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...

Keeps getting worse and worse, doesn't it, Noodles? That why you're having all these "blow out" sales of late? Can't sell anything anymore? The pressure will CONTINUE and INCREASE in the coming days. Kiss your fraud empire and your ass goodbye, ****face. Shut the **** up, Noodles.

Looking for schemo/line-up chart for a Panasonic CQ-969EU AM/FM/8 car deck. While it's out for servicing, I'd like to line up the radio section on the sweeper...get everything done at one time. The usual sources don't carry this one, although I'd hardly call this model "rare". A jpeg scan would...

I had posted earlier about those psychedelic carts from Germany (the ones wiht the orange, blue, purple, whatever, color blob on the label), recognizing they were in BASF carts with the usual stuff...except the tape. Some cursory testing tonight showed these to be FAR better tapes than the US BASF...
