So that's what the antennae contraption is supposed to look like! I had to make my own by getting the correct connector at Radio Shack and adding a wire to it. (Bought the unit off ebay and it had no antennae wire at all.)

Never thought it had such an involved antennae splice-harness. Got any more of those NOS contraptions lieing around?

I will take a look tomorrow. Here is a pic of my 8track to CB radio converter. I am sure it has a mega watt output.

Steve,

If you haven't found the correct cable and connector by now, let me know I will send you a whole FM Converter unit. Just PM me your address

[njsteve]

PM on its way!

Well, I received this Lear Jet unit - what the heck makes this thing so heavy??? I don't know where I'm gonna mount it, it's too big for the glove box, and I'm not putting any holes through my rubber mat... I'll figure it out.

My question for you old timers, what is up with these 'programs' on the tapes and lights on the unit? What is 'mpx'?

I kinda like this stuff too, Hmmmm..... wonder how it would sound in the Deuce? Can you put a reverb thingy on an AM Radio, and then plug in one of those FM 'verter thingys?

Where the heck would I find an 8 track tape - with some cool music????


BTW, I would want a 'Lear-Jet' brand stuff/junk, did they make something/anything?

Years ago my inlaws were throwing out an 8track player/ recorder which I have now. Never used it but in "theory" I should be able to record current music on 8track tapes. I am not sure of the integrity of 8track tapes. The ones I own play like back in the day, horrible, but a shim here or there and the old tapes come alive.

While cleaning out my Dad's house last fall I ran across some blank 8 tracks. Now what did I do with them? And how was he recording them???????

[sYc]

They actually made home 8 track player/recorders. Plug in the old turntable, put the needle to your favorite 33 or 45 rpm record, BINGO.

[ORIGLS6]

Yeah, I'm still working in that house and the 'Home Stereo Console' is still there and functional. I'll check it out tomorrow. I know the turntable still works and it MIGHT record 8 tracks! Wouldn't that be sumpthin?

Hey M; ya want a couple of 'Sly & the Family Stone' tapes? Or I could send you some from my Dad's collection. Choose from Slim Whitman, Ernest Tubb, Don Williams,.........Or an Andy Williams Christmas tape.

The Chevrolet demo tapes usually had a good song or 2 per 8-track...

Who's 'Sly'? I didn't know that Stallone was in a band! Cool!
