Kind of a fun thread - I had a cassette player stolen out of my VW Rabbit - reported it to the police. A few months later I get this phone call from the police station saying they'd recovered my cassett player and I could come pick it up. I told them thanks but toss it. It eats tapes. We had a good laugh.
Yea, but did you get your Creedence tapes and briefcase back?Kind of a fun thread - I had a cassette player stolen out of my VW Rabbit - reported it to the police.

I remember the early portable and car CD players skipped a whole heck of a lot. That got better with later generations of CD players, but the relatively light, cheap and sturdy walkman was still king for all the lawn-mowing and CC running I did as a teenager.The invention of the 8-track was the bane to the industry. Never had a problem with AM radio before 8-tracks. CD's were much better than tapes, especially in quality of music. Even the iPod is on it last legs of functional usability. AM/FM/SiriusXM/Spotify/iTunes/etc. and Blue Tooth streaming devices work great.
Folded over book of matches wedged between the 8 track and the player to hold the 8 track in place, scotch tape where it broke, clicking in the middle of songs...
Good times...
When Music Went Mobile with 8-Track Tapes - Best Classic Bands
Do you remember when it was a big deal to have an 8-track player in your car? Check out Ford's '66 Mustang adbestclassicbands.com
Mostly because it was a Gremlin. And there was no market for Lawrence Welk 8 track tapes.In the way back machine (early 70s) I’d often park my Gremlin (yeah, I was hot shit) under the Viaduct (here in Seattle), leave the windows down, doors unlocked, 24 8 tracks and Pioneer deck in full view, and hop on the ferry for a couple days at home. No one ever vandalized or stole a thing.
Imagine that.
So great. A spits 8 track is blowing my mindA guy I know had a small record label, garage band type stuff mostly...did a bunch of 7" singles and EP's
He put out an 8 track in 2007...
Lol

By recent Japanese car standards the Pacer was quite graceful!Mostly because it was a Gremlin. And there was no market for Lawrence Welk 8 track tapes.
No offense intended. I had a 71 Vega with an 8 track player, and nobody wanted to go near the thing...let alone steal anything. The only less respected vehicle than the Gremlin or Vega was the AMC Pacer (the 1970's precursor to the Nissan Pube).
No it wasn’t you could fix the ones that got ate with scotch tapeNo , the real struggle was 8 track .
