You might try Approved Audio Service. They're a sponsor here and I think they can fix you up.

Thanks for the info wayne. I did not realize that they still repaired 8 track players. I got one in the closet collecting dust because it doesnt work anymore.

Oh man I can remember listening to my parents 8 track player when I was a kid. I can also remember their record player, which kids today have no clue what a record player or an 8 track is. That kind of makes me feel old and I'm only in my 30's LOL.

I know the feeling. I'm also in my thirties and still have a bunch of 8-track cassettes. I need to just throw them out, or at least eBay them.

I don't know of anyone who works on them but I have a suggestion. Have you looked at it yourself? I don't think they are terribly sophisticated and you may be able to do something with it. If you don't want to do it yourself, google search it and see what you can find.

I'm not sure who would repair 8 tracks nowadays. I didn't know any still existed. That is, other than the one my dad owns. He still has quite a collection of 8 track tapes.

All you really need is an old school electronics guy. As SayWhat mentioned, 8 track players aren't incredibly complicated units.

I had my parents old 8 track player up until a couple of years ago when it got left behind in a nasty divorce. Wish I still had that thing. I felt funky being an 8 track owner in this day and age, lol.

I bet the 8 Track tapes and players will sell very well on eBay. Anything from back in the day is a hot item on eBay.

I have to agree. Especially for people like you who have a large 8 track collection and wants to keep playing it. I wonder if VHS will eventually go that way, but I seriously doubt it.
