      @skeeter197140 Yes, fast forward was common in some 8 track players, however, due to the continuous loop, rewind was not an option. Now you can learn to love the 8 track !🙂

    My goodness that is one big roll of tape. Yes I would imagine that might be a struggle for some players to handle. Reminds me of those blank c120 cassette tapes. I sometimes had a few issues with those back in the day, I suppose it has something to do with the tape itself as with c120's they had to make the tape thinner to fit it all into the cassette and they were prone to stretching and breaking a lot.

    I hated the 8 track tape ever since I was little when sometimes the 8 track playback goes wrong and gets stuck making creepy sounds like if a singer has too many sliced carrots in it's mouth and it used to creep me out as a child I thought man that was scary I mean I whish I knew how to undo creepy tape tension from an 8 track which I've seen it from a different youtube channel so maybe you would do a video of how to undo 8 track stuck playback problems.

    I never owned 8-track tape back in the day. I was a cassette guy. Reasons: Cassettes are smaller, so you can carry more of them on you. You can't rewind an 8-Track tape to relisten to any given part immediately. You have to wait until the tape cycles through. Most importantly, unless any given full song ends on either of the 4 tracks, there's an awkward "chunk" sound where the song exits the track it began in and resumed in the next. All that said, kudos to you for your repair work. Younger folks will never know the relationship between the cassette tape and a pencil 😉

    Thank you for that review, very much appreciated. And definitely let me know what you think of the colored foam. I do cut those a little taller than the gray pads to make up for the softer foam. So that should prevent any crosstalk and fidelity issues. They are definitely a lot of fun 🙂

      Hello, my goal here is to educate people on how to repair 8 tracks on their own. I do like to repair for other people and I don't charge, however it becomes quite expensive because of shipping . That said if you want to cover that I'd be glad to fix your tapes but just to forewarn you that it becomes expensive for shipping. That's why I've been hesitant to do anything over the mail and prefer to do things in person. You can email me at h2ofield@shaw.ca, if you still want to pursue anything.
