Re: 8 Track players - worth owning?
There are some good ones and that site is particularly good. What I did today was get a bit confident and apply my good technique for one cart to a slightly different design. The outcome wasn't catastrophic but I could have done better by taking a bit more time. At least I realised I'd also opened the cart upside down in time to avoid dropping the tape all over the floor!

Re: 8 Track players - worth owning?
Martin, Have attached some information on BSR's 8 track units made in about 1971. Looks like they made quadro versions!

Re: 8 Track players - worth owning?
Now have some 8 track tapes on their way to try with the Wien, so may well be ending up with lots of tape on the floor if I have to open up any of the tape cartridges

Re: 8 Track players - worth owning?
My Wien has arrived, no tapes yet so I looked inside and as half expected the drive belt has disintegrated into a very gooey mess, which I will cover soon in a new Thread.
