I still have my Dad's collection of Eight-Track Cassettes from the early Seventies.
Any enthusiasts who still use them?
No, I know off them And like laserdiscs I think they are cool.
But never had the opportunity to get in to either.
Shame.
The only player, on offer on eBay, was a Japanese recorder; for parts only.
Techmoan to the rescue ?

This is a very nice simple eight track player, its compact and all in one.

Sadly Eight tracks were never that big in Europe, Techmoans players are almost always imported from Japan or the USA
The RQ 8 is between 80 and 180 pounds on ebay, and even then its still only available from the usa or Japan.
I'd like to have one but with out 8 track tapes of my own thats just a no go for me.
