  We have completely gone through it cleaning all and adjusting the head azimuth & track cross-talk for optimum performance and the best high-frequency response (not normally expected from 8-track cartridge performance).
Head azimuth, track alignment, signal phase and internal output level pots all adjusted utilizing dual-trace oscilloscope and factory test tone tape, multiple factory recorded tapes and headphones. Internal playback, meter and record level pots also adjusted w/ O-scope. Entire transport and mechanism has been cleaned, re-lubed and de-magnetized. Program change mechanism and contacts, disassembled, cleaned and re-lubed for trouble-free program changes. Flywheel / Capstan removed, cleaned, burnished / retextured and re-lubed. New, main drive belt installed for trouble-free service. All original program, meter and record lamps work fine and respond to program / track changes. Heads have been cleaned and de-magnetized and are in great shape. Record signal path contacts burnished for static-free performance. Records VERY well at +5dB w/ 1kHz test tone on NEW Chrome Tape. This machine would be perfect for burning your 8-track collection  to CD.
Tape speed tested with factory 1kHz test tape for reproduction at 1017Hz or 97.75% accuracy. Meters even w/ factory test tone tape. Meters even w/ factory test tone tape. Floor noised tested to a mere 00.1mVAC on both channels at 75% output and only 00.3mVAC at 100% output. Deck looks good and works GREAT!

Great quality 8-track cartridge play / record deck. This is a great deck for transferring a large amount of tapes to another media as it has two very important features. 'Locking' Fast Forward and Auto Stop. These features are used to find the beginning of track one without going past the beginning of the next track. Trying to do a lot of transfers, as a business without those two features will cost a lot of time / money!
   Features include:

   
  - Stereo Playback and Recording 
  - Back-lit, analog VU level meters
   - Separate L & R controls for Input / output level
   - Locking Fast Forward
   - Auto-Stop
    - Dual 1/8" microphone inputs mounted on the front panel
   - 1/4" Stereo Headphone jack
   - Rear mounted RCA I/O's

   
 
  Again, have completely gone through it making ready for playback for listening to or burning your collection. Great for burning your tape collection to another media or for recording new 8-tracks from CD or iPod for your classic Muscle Car. Looks good and works GREAT! Includes our standard 90 day limited warranty. Measures 12.5" wide x 9.5" deep x 4.5" high and weighs 9 lbs unpacked.

Due to the age, conditions in which many 8-track tapes have been stored in and subjected to and the inherent quality shortcomings of the 8-track cartridge format (ie; case shape tolerances, and pressure pad designs), most tapes will not sound as good as most of today's modern formats and likely not as good as even their original, limited quality sound.
