How about asking one of your local Freecycle.org groups. If you can't find one over there, I can ask some of the ones out here in California and see if maybe somebody has one just lying around.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Eight-track tape players?
Hello wise ones,
Does anyone have a clue where I might find an 8-track tape player,
either as a loan or to purchase? Within a large video collection we are
about to receive there is a carton of 8-track tapes containing oral history
interviews that no one has heard! The donor has a great many players for the
evolution of video formats, but no 8-track audio player.
Thanks for any help you can provide. If a Washington museum has
such a player, perhaps I can travel to your museum to listen to and transfer
these tapes.
