Yep, that's some real old stuff. And to think I got rid of my cassette stuff years ago. My 70 Cutlass has a factory 8-track. It's not in, but I did find a few tapes to play if I did. Alice cooper Billion dollar babies and an Areosmith tape.

Hey Larry what's next? Just don't ask us to start a chat channel on CB's ok. :muhaha:

Larry, my Mustang still has the original Philco-Ford AM/8-Track in it. At yard sales & swap meets I'm always looking for old tapes.....

Everytime I hear the Styx song Midnight Ride, I imagine the break in the song from the 8 track player switching tracks.

I since have bought the Equinox record on CD however I still listen to it on my 1950's vintage tube amp.

I was honestly surprised they had a website dedicated to them..
By the way, that big yellow thing in the center of the screen is what an 8 track "cassete" looks like.

Hey how about running through a Quadraphonic system!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadraphonic
One thing the did have back then, some of the biggest most powerful Stereo recievers ever made. The Marantz 2600 (300w x 300w) & 2500 (250w x 250). Also the Pioneer SX-1980.
