Hi everybody...Welcome to Retro-Wednesday!!
Today's offering is from the early 70's. It not only runs on batteries, but is also plays AND records 8-Track tapes. It still works just fine, and as you can see, I have ample tapes to play.
In fact, I have dozens more that I haven't shown you.
Ahhhh, I can almost tell you the exact spot in the 8-Track version of In-na-gadda-da-vida, where the program changes from program 1, to program 2....Click!!!
I hope this brings back some memories...
.
Peace...!

(Sorry for the grainy quality...Low-Tech ya know)

gman, you areone of two human beings i know who STILL uses an 8track!
frampton alive, now there's an 8 track to have. hehehehe
I wish I still had that tape. In fact Im not even sure where our tapes have gone. probably packed away somewheres
8-tracks?! You may have the last surviving 8-track player. Ahhh, the treasures of a pack rat. Want a lava lamp?:)
I love listening to my tapes, I have had them since I was little as my Uncle gave them to me. He collected many thousands of Vinyl records by then and so gave me some tapes. They still play so well..and at least they don't get scratched like CD's do.
ah, yes...the lovely 8-track. reminds me of my youth. we had an 8 track in our car, a portable 8 track and almost every stereo system that my parents had, w the exception of one, had a way to play 8 tracks. hey, you don't happen to have a big stereo console w reel-to-reel, do ya? lol :)
Miles AND Herbie?
i know you did that
to impress me!
(giggle.)

Made me laugh! I have had "Margaritaville" on vinyl, 8 track, cassette, and disc!
That's awesome, G-man. I used to love me some 8-Track. :D I'll have to keep my eye out for them while I make my rounds.
uh-oh!!
i may have picked a battle with the wrong guy(-:
ps dude, you don't know how many days i had been waiting to get in there first!!
Just dropping by to say 'hello'.
Realized that TC has removed his blog, glad to see you still around.
Hope you're doing well, Galen.
Low tech is cool.
I´m also from the early 70s. :-)
It does bring back memories. I had the huge "portable" boom box that was 8-track. I wish I still had it because it was all white and truly obnoxious. I could have put my Deep Purple in it too...
*sigh* You want me to come and clean house for ya?
Kind of 'Gamey' today eh Lime..? =P
Gabby, you'll find it when you least expect it

My place will never ever be as spotless as your beautiful home...;-)
At my grandma and grandpa's cabin, there was an 8-track. One problem: there was only one 8 track to play. Which 8-track was it, you may ask ...
It was Kenny Rogers.
Hi Jodie...
I bet you have not listened to Kenny since..
Back home from camp all safe and sound I see..YAY!!
You gotta know when to hold 'em ... know when to fold 'em.
I liked Kenny before he Joan Riverized his face.
