Bart, The 8 track player was a $1 whim -- I bought it at a garage sale. The tape cost me 25 cents. I think the biggest frustration for me is that since it ate my one tape (and I'd never played the tape before) I don't know if it's the player that needs fixing or if the tape was just bad to begin with. I have to go find some more cheap tapes to find out. Thanks for the offer of putting me in touch with someone who fixes the tapes. I don't think I'm going to put that much effort into ones that self destruct. :) pax >>Message: 6 Date: Mon, 5 Sep 2005 19:36:12 EDT From: baadass73gremlin@xxxxxxx Subject: Re: Neil Diamond Died in My Gremlin LMAO sorry not laughing at yer 8 track messing up but i could just imagine hearing PUT ON YER HOT LIGHeeeeeeeRRrrr'click'click'click Sorry about hearing all that work down the drain,maybe get Niel D.on CD and a nice CD player?buut i do know this kid who rebuilds 8 track tapes if you want me to put you in touch with him?
