8-Track Changer Fix-up (Patreon)
Content
I’ve played about with quite a few cassette changers over the years, but now it’s time to take a look at a five-cart 8-track changer.
Quite a few 8-track changers were released - I’ve got another more elaborate one in storage that I need to take a look one day too. As you’ll see in this video though, the simple nature of the 8-track play mechanism lent the format to multi-cartridge machines. Cassette changers required far more elaborate solutions (like a ski slope).
Oh and I must apologise, I know this will generate complaints when the video goes live, but there was nothing I could do about it. I do sound rather bunged up during sections of this video. This occurred on the days preceding a hospital appointment when I wasn’t able to take any remedies to mask the issue. It was either a bunged up video or no video.
Enjoy the week and I hope to have a new video for you soon. Take care.
UPDATE
Re-uploaded the video to remove a section where I said 50hz instead of 60hz - also took this opportunity to minimise pedant magnets though the smattering in of a few verbalisations of things that whilst common sense, were previously unspoken.
