The Beatles- Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band 8-Track Tape. Tested. READ.
Tape has been “Splice-tested” on my personal machine: It pulled smoothly and sounded good. The splice remained intact and the existing foil strip changed the channel properly. But since 8-track players vary wildly in build quality, maintenance and cleanliness, this tape is NOT guaranteed to perform similarly on any other machine. It is sold STRICTLY as an as-is collectors/ display item with no returns, refunds or adjustments. In fact, it is strongly suggested that this tape be carefully evaluated and/or rebuilt before any playback attempt is made. Be aware that just about every used 8-track on eBay is sold this exact same way.
But in the event of a performance issue, I’ll be happy to provide contact information for my 8-track guy who, for about $3, will completely rebuild it with a new pressure pad, splice, and sensing foil—a smokin’ good deal considering the time involved.
The pads should be
replaced—especially for best audio quality.
The price is firm. Since this is a “Buy It Now” listing, offers sent through eBay’s messaging system are generally not responded to. If the price is not to your liking, feel free to put it on your “Watch” list. If the market agrees with you, I’ll likely lower it eventually, and you will be notified.
- SHIPPING NOTES-
Although my items are marked “Ships within Three Days”, I generally get orders out the next business day—or even the same day.
U.S. CUSTOMERS: A package of four tapes weighs under a pound, so an order of up to four can ship via USPS Media Mail for the same price as ONE! Thus, purchasing multiples saves you significantly over ordering one at a time. Put everything in your cart, then order.
NON-U.S. CUSTOMERS: With most International orders, “one pound and under” packages can be sent quite reasonably. Four well-packed 8-track tapes weigh just under a pound, so four can be sent for the same price as ONE. Yes: International shipping is quite expensive. No: There’s nothing I can do about it.
