Ebay Purchase
Paid $3 for a player on EBay, $12 to ship, received today-DOA.
Sold AS IS, but makes you wonder if the guy plugged it in and knew it was fried... |

that's why you should only buy a SERVICED/TESTED/PLAYING 8-track deck.
It's well worth the extra $20 or so you would spend. leave the $3 fixer-uppers for the guys that can fix them. what kind of player was it anyway ? |

Dear Fellow 8 Track Enthusiasts
I also bought a player on Ebay recently. I bought a portable Lloyds radio w/8 Track Player built in.It works pretty good.It only cost me $9.99 for the player.But I had to pay $12.00 for the shipping. Though it works pretty good,there is one minor problem.I sometimes hear double on some tapes or I hear songs meant to be played on another program.While on others,I do not have that problem.The ones that I hear double on I have played on a Bradford player that I have hooked up to my portable Lloyds stereo w/built in AM/FM receiver and 8 Track(the player on the portable stereo does not work.It does not play.So I hooked up the Bradford to play my tapes). Regarding the Lloyds portable radio w/8 Track player,could somebody tell me what could be wrong with it?I would appreciate any info.Thanks.Sincerely Frank R.Schoonover |

that portable Lloyds may have a broken tape head support, the last 3
portables I had in, had broken plastic tape head supports and needed to be fixed and adjusted. OR the head height and azimuth is just off on the Lloyds Believe it or not, BRADFORD made damn good players, they almost always have torquey AC motors, and one I had in had a camshaft in it like a car, to step the tape head up/down for the programs- and big caps like main bearings in a car, on either end of the cam. Damn thing was bulletproof ! I scavenged a motor from it for a Miida adjustable tape head deck, but saved that Bradford tape transport just as a convro piece. |

Watch out...he'll try to bully you into giving him "good" feedback! hahahaha! Noodles, there's NO escape for you. dB |

It's a Lloyd's piece of junk, not worth fixing, although Charlie Nudo, aka 66fourdoor, will gladly sell you another one for $49.95, I'm sure! dB |

Why haven't they locked you up yet, Noodles? dB |

Dear Desert Bob
I did not buy the Lloyds portable from Charlie Nudo a.k.a.66fourdoor.I bought this from another Ebay seller.The seller lived in Oklahoma,not Pennsylvania.The seller goes by the name of Atlee1080.When I received the portable,the address label said Oklahoma City Oklahoma on it and even the post mark said Oklahoma as well. I hope that this straightens the matter out.Thanks.Sincerely Frank R.Schoonover DeserTBoB wrote: On 10 May 2005 11:39:15 -0700, "frschoonover" wrote: Regarding the Lloyds portable radio w/8 Track player,could somebody tell me what could be wrong with it?I would appreciate any info.Thanks.Sincerely Frank R.Schoonover snip Noodles...er, Frank: Bad pressure pads in the carts, and the head's misaligned.
