StevenGuthmiller Posted June 6, 2021 Author Posted June 6, 2021 Well, not to be the type that shies away from a challenge, I thought how hard could it be to make an under dash 8-track player. Then it occurred to me that it might be fun, so away we go. Steve
OldNYJim Posted June 6, 2021 Posted June 6, 2021 Outstanding! That 8-track is so well done you wouldn’t know it wasn’t a ‘geegaw’ from a kit! Looks GREAT!
Bucky Posted June 6, 2021 Posted June 6, 2021 I knew you had it in ya! Already reminds me of the player I had that wore out "Hotel California" and "The Wall" back in the day!(Darn tape-eater!)
TooOld Posted June 6, 2021 Posted June 6, 2021 When I read the post earlier about an 8-Track tape player I somehow knew you'd be making one !

absmiami Posted June 6, 2021 Posted June 6, 2021 Pain in the as Department: Why not put an 8 track into the slot? Then we can all vote for which one …

Call it a weakness of mine. It seems like any time someone makes a suggestion like this, pictures begin flashing through my head of possible ways to accomplish the task, and suddenly, like a scratch that needs itching, I find myself sitting at the bench working it out. It's really a happy affliction, but it does have a tendency to distract me from the work that I should be concentrating on. Oh well. It didn't take too long. Here is the finished player. Making a couple of tapes to throw on the seat should be pretty easy........that is if I knew someone who could make some cool 8-track decals for them. Steve

StevenGuthmiller Posted June 6, 2021 Author Posted June 6, 2021 8-track tape? I'm not sure, but it doesn't look quite right. Maybe a little narrower? Steve

That's an impressive player -- and now a cartridge ! To simplify the cartridge's appearance , you could just paint a 'blank' label on it , as though it's a blank with home recording content .

StevenGuthmiller Posted June 7, 2021 Author Posted June 7, 2021 This short video shows how quickly your model can go from being displayed with the hood closed, and then open, and back to closed again with the addition of mini magnets. Actually I'm just kind of enjoying making videos! Steve

Bills72sj Posted June 7, 2021 Posted June 7, 2021 Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon or Peter Frampton Comes Alive. Those were my two favorite until I made my own Styx Grand Illusion on a CrO2 tape.
TooOld Posted June 7, 2021 Posted June 7, 2021 Neat video , I think you've found something new to do with all of that spare time you have !
