The "Who is still rockin' a turntable" thread has amassed a good number of replies, while being hijacked quite a lot. This title can be used for a large variety of subjects without anyone worrying about going off subject.
I plan on having several operating 8 track players for my R/T. By using the theft prevention brackets on all of them, I can switch from one style to another easily, in addition to having the option of no player under the dash when legroom is at a premium. Here is one of the players. It has a couple of rare features. This player can be used with 4 or 8 track tapes, hence the name Stereo 48. It has a thumbwheel labeled Fine Tuning that adjusts the playback head up and down to eliminate crosstalk. There is a switch on the back to change between positive or negative ground.
The other player, while very similar in looks, also has an FM radio incorporated. I think it's cool the way the radio dial is part of the cartridge door.
I picked both of them up at estate sales. The top one looks practically unused. I have several more (than I hate to admit) home and car players and recorders.
