Motorola 8 track restoration
Need steerage to a reputable outfit to mechanically and cosmetically restore my Motorola 8 track stereo tape player. 8 track still works but is a bit jerky. Also open to hear from some of the do-it-yourselfers out there wrt the cosmetic restoration.
Thanks

Re: Motorola 8 track restoration
Was told by 'the' Carlisle vintage radio restorer that there is no known servicer of aftermarket 8 track radios bec/ of lack of demand and parts shortages/minimum purchases. I also need someone to fix my Lear Jet AM/FM 8 track that was a Yenko Catalog Item.

Re: Motorola 8 track restoration
Marlin,
I have found a fellow in Prescott AZ that will do a mechanical resto. His quote was "...estimate for mechanical and electrical restoration on the interior would be $475 plus parts and shipping" Cosmetic would be separate cost. He has an informative web site and is responsive. Barry's!

Re: Motorola 8 track restoration
$475 plus parts and shipping?
 Hard to imagine he has much business at those prices. I like this line on his website...."Looking for top quality work? I fix equipment owned by NASA !" What, NASA is still using 8 tracks?  But seriously, perhaps that's where he comes up with his pricing structure. Our Government has been known to buy $600 hammers and $1000 toilet seats, so $500 8 track player repairs aren't much of a stretch of the imagination
