@TechConnectify fun how that's a problem I couldn't ever possibly encounter Never seen any 8track-devices in the wild, much less recently But then I'm from the german region that was GDR. If we had cars in those days, they came without radios. My own first car (inherited from my grandfather, who bought it used) was a VW Golf 2 (yes, that was after 2000) and read MC

@TechConnectify This is EXACTLY the sort of kludge that makes me fizzle with glee.

@TechConnectify I saw three 8-track players (Lear jet Stereo) ever, 1 in a car! They never caught on in UK & Ireland. It was only being standard in some USA cars that boosted them. The Compact Cassette was earlier (1962 - 1963) vs 1964 for the 8 track. The wear was excessive due to being an endless loop & thus no rewind and fast forward was slow and rare. Heads quickly went out of alignment. The Sanyo stereo cassette with LW/MW/VHF radio was very popular aftermarket install in the early 1970s.

@TechConnectify I'm still searching for a colour-capable dot-matrix fax machine. Anyone?

@TechConnectify OMG I had one of these that I lucked into around the early 00's or so. I was driving a salvaged 1976 Mustang II at the time, which had a factory AM radio with an 8-track player, neither of which did me much good. I saw this a garage sale or something and snapped it up. I put an aux to cassette adapter in the cassette to 8-track adapter, and then plugged the aux cable into an off-brand discman (pre-antiskip), and then I could listen to burned discs!

@TechConnectify Already watched 😃 Weirdly enough, only a few days ago I wondered whether such a thing existed, after I found my VHS-C to VHS adapter while cleaning up - and there you are making a video about them. I'm even a bit sad they didn't manage to make a fully mechanical solution for this problem.

@TechConnectify What happens when the cassette runs out of tape?
