How many of you own Imperials from that golden age after the hi-way hi-fi demise but before those dandy little plastic cassette tapes solidified their dominance for auto audio? I'm speaking, of course, about the Age of Eight Track, and I am proud to say that I have converted my '70s machine (not the Imperial, but this is relevant) to play 8 tracks through its car radio. I installed an NOS under-dash unit that I won for $20 from ebay, and it sounds great! Now, here's where this pertains to Imperial folk: I know many of you out there have 8 tracks in your Imperials...and, if your eight tracks are anything like mine (ie 20-30 years old) you probably have a lot of broken tapes. With some practice, I've actually "mastered" the art of 8 track repair. Because the tape itself is 1/4" wide, repair (something unheard of with a 1/8" cassette tape) is quite possible. Would anybody be interested in a service for repairing these tapes? I've been tossing around the idea of contracting out my newly-acquired skill, both to earn a little money and keep some of these neat little audio tapes out of the dump. I can also transfer 8 tracks to a CD, for those without an 8 track player. Of course, its not CD quality, but I'm sure there were MANY 8 tracks produced that were never transferred over during the digital revolution. Anyone interested in either or both of these services let me know (privately). I'm putting a feeler out there right now, but if there's enough people out there wanting it, I may do it. Let me know, also, what you think a fair price for either of these services would be, keeping in mind too the shipping cost. Thanks! --Mike Pittinaro __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! - Official partner of 2002 FIFA World Cup http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com
