That looks great.
Can 8 track actually be made to sound good as a medium ?

Wow that's amazing.
I used to repair 8 track car audio for a living in my yoof. Some of it sounded pretty good in the more expensive cars.
The tape speed is 3 and 3/4 inches per second, so twice that of cassette.

I love Hendrix for so many reasons. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist - he played damn well any kind of guitar he wanted. In fact I'm not sure if he even played the guitar - he played music. - Stevie Ray Vaughan

3M Wollensak made an 8track recorder that was as good as El-Cassette in terms of sound quality, used one in the studio way, way, waaaaaay back and I had one at home to makes tapes for the car. This looks interesting, if I had the room.

Never seen one f those either....
My dad loved his 8 track in his car so much, when it came to getting a new motor and it came with casete he was unimpressed, and got the old 8 track taken out and fiiied out to work in the house.got the works dept to build the case and the the tv dept to fix up the psu etc....it actually worked rather well, and lasted for years....sounded great in the car though, which was high end. one of the large body old v8 rovers .

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
