Dangers of Fixing 8Ts

I almost set the house on fire Saturday while fixing tapes--I won't
elaborate, other than to say I pulled a real dumbass move--then I was
laughing so goddamn hard, I almost didn't realize that I hadn't quite
put it completely out.

Man, I hadn't felt that awake in years once I got everything squared
away.

Yup, adrenalin is a pretty potent high isn't it. Bottle that up and
sell it, you'd be a millionaire.

I had a fix up deal that went to **** on me too recently- I scored 2
original Ampex Woodstock tapes, MINT in the sleeves with gooey rollers
off the 8T Heaven classifieds for 50 cents each- of course they had to
be drilled to get apart. Upon popping the one open, about half the
tape spilled out in a big ring and I couldn't sneak it back in. Damn
had to unravel it and spool it back on, and splice it a few times due
to remove tangle loops. What a bitch.

Needless to say the next one I did VERY carefully- 2 tape set.

I gave up on the flame-thrower for 8-Track repair years ago...it does
help with the glued together variety though...

Too bad you didn't hang yourself with the tape.

Why are you telling me this? Call me when the house burns down.

What I've found best for those glued type carts, is a very sturdy
putty knife- not the cheap flexible ones for paint- but the thicker
automotive mechanics' type for scraping engine gaskets that that don't
bend. Push in on the seam, twist-"crack" the whole cart opens right up
and separates.
