HI ALL CAPS JOE HETE. WHAT A WASTE. WHO WANTS TO STORE A BULKY 8 TRACK WITH 3 MINUTES OF TAPE IN IT. WE WANT A CHOCK FULL 8 TRACK. PLUS 8 TRACK TAPE SUCKS. YOU CAN PUT REEL TO.REEL TAPE INSIDE. THEN IT WOULD BE DECENT.
Hahahahahah, I guess you missed the point. Looks like they did this for the pure fun of it and actually, in my experience, nobody wants an 8track tape chocked full or not. About reel to reel tape, you actually can’t put reel to reel tape into these. Since its a continuous loop and starts from the center of the spool 8track tape is lubricated at the factory. From your cranky no fun attitude I’m sure you’re familiar with lubricant and can maybe point the 8track fans who wanna put “superior”reel to reel tape into their cartridges in the right direction for the good stuff.
That's not the capstan, it's the pinch-roller ✌️😅
I’ll tell him ASAP!
You know you cold have used that old tape and just rerecord over it
True! I think he was trying to keep up the fidelity as much as possible.
I don’t understand how he got the correct length of tape. He played it for 2.5 mins then what next exactly?
(-track tapes must have graffit like from a pencil on backside of the tape or else it goes badly rolling and tighten up and stop rolling.
Yeah, I cut it down a bit, but he did lube it up.
