Excellent 8 track Mueseum!

[centralradio]

I have plenty of 8track players and recorders here along with truckloads of tapes.

At the time they came out I was not crazy about them because of the low-fi muddy sound they have and no rewind feature.

They worked great for background music or announcements.

To bad they could not enhance the sound out of them with the small head gap the heads have and use better grade tapes.

Has anybody modify the decks for better sound and also try loading better quality tape grade like chrome FeCr ,ETC tape in the cartridge and tweek the bias settings and and record some tests.
