I get my 8-Tracks through various means. I get them via Ebay, Facebook
groups where 8-Track collectors sell what they have that they don't want to
others and at times, I might get lucky when I discover 8-Track's at either a
Salvation Army and/or Goodwill thrift store. As I said, Facebook has been
becoming a lot more popular and slowly making Google groups obsolete. I
recently scored some 8-Tracks from a seller on Facebook in Oklahoma and
tomorrow afternoon, I am sending him some money so he can send them to me.
The most recent 8-Track addition that I made was an RCA Music Service
edition of Kenny Rogers' album I Prefer the Moonlight, which needs new foam
pads on the springs. The tape itself is in very good condition. I will be
sending this one, alongside some others, to Kate's Track Shack to get fixed
and tuned up, alongside a GE radio with 8-Track player to get checked out.

Regarding their website Andy, it's still up and running. They only close it
off when they need to make changes to the lists of tapes that they sell or
when it needs website maintenance. Right now, it is up and running as I
logged into it before answering here. I have been looking on both Ebay and
the 8-Track Shack because I am looking for certain particular 8-Tracks. Some
of the prices that they are being sold on Ebay range from fair to being
greedy at times. A few times, I have seen sellers list 8-Tracks for almost
$100.00 to almost $200.00. However, I have seen most being listed for fair
prices such as $1.00 to about $10.00 or more. Still, I never let it dull my
enthusiasm for collecting them and adding them to my ever growing
collection.

Last Summer, I scored some 8-Tracks at a local estate sale. There were tapes
in a box with handles and a Lazy Susan of various carts. Most of the carts
that were in the box with handles are Ampex, with a few being Lear Jet's
that Ampex released, have melted rollers, but I will be getting them fixed
in the near future via Kate's Track Shack. They do the best work on
8-Track's that money can buy and they always give a 30 day guarantee on
everything that they fix and tune-up. I am always satisfied with their
service and work and i keep having them do the work on my tapes all the
time. At least after they tune them up, they sound way better and also, the
tapes that I bought from the infamous Charlie "Noodles" Nudo sound much
better with their normal Win-Gib pressure pads than those graphite robbing
no good for nothing pads that he made. I highly recommend them when it comes
to fixing 8-Tracks and 8-Track players. They do the best work that money can
buy and you always get a 30 day guarantee on everything that they fix and
tune-up.

I hope that all of you have a wonderful evening and many happy days ahead.
