8 track player, underdash - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

greenhorn male · 07-28-2007, 02:39 PM

I bought this NOS on e-bay over a year ago. I thought it would be cool and nostalgic to have an 8-track player in my truck. It played good but the "cool factor" only lasted a month, in favor of better sound.

I beleive it cost me around $70. I threw the original box away. My cat chewed the fuse holder but I included another one. There is enough speaker wire for a suburban. You will need your own L-brackets to mount these.

$25 shipped to the lwr 48 USPS priority shipping with insurance and delivery confirmation.

Please respond in thread. Paypal ok: (ezapa007@yahoo.com)

OK how about $19 shipped to USA

It's about 8" wide and 7" deep. The front is 2" tall and the bottom bulge is almost another 1"

I have no clue. I didn't do any research on 8-track players and I lived in the Philippines from late 60's to late 70's. I'm not sure what year "stereo" was invented.

With the size of it & wiring Id guess yes. Period correct as it gets anyway...

Against my better judgement I think I'll pass.

LUV2XCLR8 · 07-29-2007, 07:40 AM

Denny, it's available and already boxed. It worked very well with most of the tapes when I had it in my truck, but all the tapes I had were old and used. I have no way to test it now as I tried to get rid of all the tapes here a while back but no one wanted them so i threw them in the trash.

PM me your mailing address and I'll take it to the post office today

DennyB · 08-01-2007, 06:15 PM

Denny
