Your Grandfather, in his car.

My father actually bought a car with what must have been the last 8 tracks in it.

wow, in that case, I want one in my first car!
i'm thinking, the ultimate retro.

It would be cool to slap in the I-Track to it!

I noticed in the video your turntable is sitting directly on your amp!

Your turntable SHOULD not be set up in this way!

Set it up on a solid table or better yet a specially designed turntable stand!

Putting it on top of the amp affects the playback in a negative way.

Turntables have to be completely isolated from any vibration whatsoever!

Even the motor of the turntable can affect the quality of playback of your LP's if it causes unwanted vibration!

The guy is using 8-tracks. What part of that indicates he is concerned about sound quality? ;-)]]>Jun 7th 2010 11:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/ipod-nano-modded-to-play-inside-8-track-player-blow-minds-with/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/ipod-nano-modded-to-play-inside-8-track-player-blow-minds-with/Jun 7th 2010 8:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/ipod-nano-modded-to-play-inside-8-track-player-blow-minds-with/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/ipod-nano-modded-to-play-inside-8-track-player-blow-minds-with/Jun 7th 2010 8:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/ipod-nano-modded-to-play-inside-8-track-player-blow-minds-with/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/ipod-nano-modded-to-play-inside-8-track-player-blow-minds-with/Jun 7th 2010 9:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/ipod-nano-modded-to-play-inside-8-track-player-blow-minds-with/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/ipod-nano-modded-to-play-inside-8-track-player-blow-minds-with/I am assuming he used the innards from one of the old cassette versions and switched it from the tape heads to the 8 track heads.

Unfortunately most 8 tracks recess the tape farther so he really needs a remote unless he wants to use it on any other 8 track player.]]>Jun 7th 2010 9:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/ipod-nano-modded-to-play-inside-8-track-player-blow-minds-with/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/ipod-nano-modded-to-play-inside-8-track-player-blow-minds-with/
As a lover of vintage stereo equipment I would like to point out that a great deal of the 1960-1970s equipment produces awesome sound and can be repaired quite easily.
They really don't make them like they used to.

Another consideration is that of alignment of and between the 2 heads.

He should have sacrificed a Mantovani cassette instead of the Beach Boys...

They do make adapters that would let your regular cassette tape play on the 8-track player. I am sure you could make an MP3 adapter out of one of those.

I always like 8-tracks, it's too bad the tapes don't last very long.]]>Jun 8th 2010 12:08AM
