Does a recording of this exist? Anywhere?
What does it sound like when you're playing an 8 track tape and the glue holding the splicing foil to the tape (and keeping the endless loop closed) lets go? I've heard it causes the tape to get sucked in to the machine and jam, causing a spectacular mess. Since there are lots of youtube videos showing VCRs and other machines "eating tapes" I figured this would be no big deal to find, but apparently I was wrong. I just want to know what it sounds like, both inside your machine and through your speakers.
I knew one blind fellow a while back who collected 8-track tapes. From what I've read (and listened to on youtube etc) I can't imagine all the maintanence being worth the (admittedly kool retro appeal). Opening up tapes to replace parts which have disintegrated over the years sounds like something that isn't fun (but people still collect and use them so some people must not mind all the effort). I love my turntable though, even with the occas
ional maintanence requiring sighted help.
If there's no recording to be heard, has anyone had this experience with 8 track tapes who can describe what it sounds like?
