	mojofilter Member since Jul 2012 1435 Points	I never owned any 8-tracks or a player when they were all the rage. But I did buy a bunch of tapes in thrift stores once they'd been sitting around in peoples' closets long enough for them to want to get rid of them. Got a bunch of Beatles, and some other goodies, for cheap, like 25 cents each - before the people who run the shops gave any thought to making a profit from their free castoffs. At one of these stores, in the early '90s, I found an early '70s 8-track record/playback deck that was unused; the cord was still wound like it was new in the box. When I finally had an occasion to use it, I discovered that it needed a new drive belt, but after getting one of those, it worked. Since then, I haven't played anything on it. I'll be lucky if the tapes still work, and haven't turned to goo.
