Going old school

[Trollhole]

I picked this up this weekend along with some dandy tapes to go along with it. Should make a fine addition to the 40.

And yes that is a genuine crocodile skin tape case. Bling bling.

I'll see if I can dig up my mom's old Roger Whitaker and Anne Murray 8-tracks for you

You defy logic.

 

[jfz80]

Yup, will have to dig up some Kenny Rogers, Oak Ridge Boys, and Dianna Ross for you from pops collection if it didnt go in the last move.

Very Marshall-like mod there I like.

Marshall,
You are making me feel way too old. 8-tracks were the cutting edge technology that the 'cool rich' kids in high school had in their cars. Now, it is old school! I don't even have a lame excuse to even try & deny it.

I should feel depressed about being old and feeling that way with this news ...

but I am too tired. Maybe I can take a nap and it will be better when I wake up.

Congrats on the score and your music looks very interesting too.

Dang Marshall, that's off the charts cool! Great Balls of Fire.....awesome!

Post up pics with the flat-top and butch hair wax.
I'm sure you already have the white socks and loafers.

Last night I got it tested and working. I've got to install it but it should be pretty easy. I listed to all my 8-tracks I bought. The kids loved them Especially the Dolly Parton one, lol. I'm a little disappointed as the Star Wars tape broke. But all the others were good to go.

For anyone else wanting one there is one on E-bay right now.

I think that may be the 2nd 8-track player I've seen in my entire life!

Rub it in...make us feel old.
