Yeah, I'm still working in that house and the 'Home Stereo Console' is still there and functional. I'll check it out tomorrow. I know the turntable still works and it MIGHT record 8 tracks! Wouldn't that be sumpthin?

Hey M; ya want a couple of 'Sly & the Family Stone' tapes? Or I could send you some from my Dad's collection. Choose from Slim Whitman, Ernest Tubb, Don Williams,.........Or an Andy Williams Christmas tape.

The Chevrolet demo tapes usually had a good song or 2 per 8-track...

Who's 'Sly'? I didn't know that Stallone was in a band! Cool!

Hey M, I have some 8 track tapes and an NOS, in the box 8 tracker player. Made by Realistic (Radio Shack) Dated 9A8. Perfect for the nova and camaro because they are November of 68 cars. Its small and will fit in the nova and camaro! Us old guys got all the vintage stuff you need young fella!

My brother Gary probably still has Boston/Boston, Joe Walsh/ Rocky Mountain Way, Frampton/Frampton Comes Alive and Gary Wright/Dream Weaver on 8 track....

I remember cruising around with him in his Trans Am listening to all of the above

M: I've got a JC Penney converter that is a self contained unit...plug your antenna into the converter, then the lead from the converter goes to the am radio...if your current radio works, then this would work slick, and you could hide it if'n you want. My problem is, my am radio in my 'Sub quit, and they are a sonofagun to change in the '67-'72 trucks...so the 8-track w/plug in converter could band-aid it for me...

As for 8 tracks, folks around here just give 'em to me...

Here is a pic of your FM Stereo converter. It contains 7 transistors and 9 diodes worth of leading edge, hi fidelity enjoyment.

So that's what the antennae contraption is supposed to look like! I had to make my own by getting the correct connector at Radio Shack and adding a wire to it. (Bought the unit off ebay and it had no antennae wire at all.)

Never thought it had such an involved antennae splice-harness. Got any more of those NOS contraptions lieing around?
