I have what I believe to be an original 8-track player out of a 69 Camaro. Nothing looks broken or missing. It is not tested and is in as-found condition. The heat sink is still attached to it. Any thoughts on the value? I'm not too familiar with these...

Thanks!

Nothing missing? Where are the speakers, grilles, wiring harness?

I meant nothing is broken or missing off the actual 8-track player itself. Obviously all that I have is what is pictured.

Speakers, grills, harness. That’s funny.

It's been too long but as I recall there are different heat sinks for Impala and Camaro and the wiring harnesses are different lengths.

I've had several cars and on Camaros the heat sink was not attached directly to the 8track head it plugged into a cable, and that cable plugged into the 8track head. I also have a spare with a harness let me see. Untested and incomplete $350-600

Is it possible to test it without the wiring harness? I’d like to see if it works but don’t want to risk damaging it.

IMHO there's too much missing sell it as is, why risk damage

Does the player have the console door attached? Any cracks in the padded top? Those items will affect price.

I don’t have the console door. The top pad is in good condition, no cracks!

There are no snubbers on the bottom side, only the bracket to attach it to the console lid.

Does anyone have a pic of what it looks like with the snubbers?

Rare piece. Oddly enough several l78/ l89 cars had these
