Subject: 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.
Micki
