8 Track tape thingys

Lol, I knew you would be, that's why I mentioned it.

A lot of times when you put one in it wouldn't play just right. Wedge a book of matches between the tape and the top or bottom of the slot to make it play on track.

Think of it as an adjustment tool.

OMG, I remember having to do that, and it mattered how far you pushed in there Too.
The wedge shape of the matchbook was a great adjustment tool

One of my friends got the first quad channel 8 track players in town, and we drove around in his 68 mustang fastback that was almost new at the time listening to Pink Floyd, Led Zeplin and Black Sabbath.

I think that was about 1970- 71? and before that was 4 track, which I came in at the end of.
