This tape was briefly tested—long enough to confirm that it is not dragging or binding in my machine, that the existing foil changed the channel properly and the splice (which has probably been there since THE 60'S . But since different players have different build quality, cleanliness and maintenance, it is NOT guaranteed to perform similarly on your machine- especially after traveling through the mail. Thus, ALL used 8-track tapes are sold strictly as “As-Is” collectors/display/ novelty items, with no returns, refunds, or adjustments.

8-track tapes were notoriously unreliable and trouble-prone when first introduced, and have NOT improved with age.
