I would say it is the tapes, not the player. An eight track is one long tape, with the two ends spliced together. 8 tracks had a tendency to wind too tight, causing them to drag, and/or come apart. Back in the day they actually made a repair kit, which included the tape to re-splice the ends together.
The case is made up of two halves, held together with a small screw, usually in the center, under the label. You can split the case and repair it. The tricky part is an 8 track is unique in that it unwinds from the center and winds around the outer edge. This is why they rewind too tight.
