Well, I checked out the stereo at Dads place and Sho Nuf................. it's an 8 track player/recorder. Even found some 'still in the wrapper' blank tapes'. Lots of other tapes too, some with the little plastic head covers still on them. Now I gotta dig out my '65 Winternationals Vinyl and convert it to that new fangled 8 track thingy.
