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.
