Those things were crappy...even in the '70s.

Did you notice, that when 4 and 8 tracks were being phased out, it
wasn't long before you didn't see them growing along side the road?

If there wasn'
t any traffic, my kid brothers used to stop and pick the cartridges
up, take them home, splice, rewind, and for the most part of it you
had a tape again. What always bothered me aboutt he 8 tracks, is
right in the middle of a song, the music would fade out and then
*CLUNK* it would change a channel, either that, or right in the middle
of the best song on the recording and "CHUNK!* the tape would switch.

Glad those days are over....



The answer: sounds on wire. Wire recorders. Don't ask.
