We are trying to give you the whole 8-track experience here at Kate's Track Shack! So if you're looking for a player, we're here to help you out!
We bought a great collection of players from our friend Dan Jobin. Dan has worked with players since he as a young lad in California. He's done a lot of player repair work for us in the past. He is about to be a new daddy and will be focusing his time with his family! Be watching for more players to come up for sale in the near future. Some of these are very unusual and hard to find players. We always acquiring players. If you don't see what you're looking for on the list let us know we may have what you're looking for.
Unless otherwise stated, all of the players we are putting up have been refurbished and are priced accordingly. We will offer a 30 day warranty on all players.* If you have a problem with your player after you receive it, please let us know so we can send you a RA form to send back with the player.
We are not responsible for tape jams/failures. If you're buying a player, you need to make sure that your tapes have been tuned-up first (new metallic splice/pad) before playing them in your player. We sell all of the repair supplies you might need to do it yourself or we offer this service as well.
Also, not all the players are going to look pristine and beautiful, but they all will be playable (again, unless otherwise stated). We'll try to clean them up and make them as beautiful as possible. But, unless the guy I spoke with last year has got his patent, I don't think they're making 8-track players anymore.
Some may show reflections of me taking pics! Also, the white paper you see on the players is for our identification and won't be on the player when it ships. Lighting may make some players look a different shade of color than they actually are.
When we figure s/h for the players, your total will include insurance for the the cost of the player. Most Priority packages come with free $50 insurance but anything over that will require the additional insurance.
If you are paying with PayPal, please make sure that the address you have on file with them is the correct address. If you've moved and haven't changed it or haven't given us your correct address, your package could be delayed. If it is sent back to us because of an incorrect address, there will be a charge for the return shipping from the post office as well as the original shipping costs.
P.S. - Play Safe!
Your 8-track player is an older piece of electronic equipment. We strongly recommend and urge you to plug this device into a switchable power strip, and turn the power strip OFF when the player is not in use. Many of these machines were designed to use power even when turned off, and that is not good for anybody. Please protect yourself and your gear... plug into a power strip and turn the strip OFF when not in use. Thanks! Dan & Kathy
