BLANK 8-TRACK CARTRIDGES etc

All are SEALED unless noted. These are no different from any other vintage sealed 8-track: most likely, they will need foam pressure pads replaced, and the sensing foil splices may need replacement as well. I don't think any of these will have roller problems, though. ALL are in FACTORY BOX unless noted otherwise.

Only ONE of each type blank is available unless a quantity is shown in (parentheses) before the price. The prices shown are for ONE tape. Shipping charges are the same as for prerecorded 8-tracks. Listed by MANUFACTURER, and this should be obvious, but the time (length) shown is for four stereo programs at 3.75 IPS- if you use a stereo blank in a quad deck you will only have half the recording time stated for stereo. Any actual QUAD blanks will be noted as such with correct QUAD length stated. Note that there are a couple Audiopak broadcast carts listed (which will work in 4-track decks but not 8-track decks).

These are all vintage unopened store or warehouse stock unless noted otherwise. I've had these stashed for, in some cases, many years. I was going to put them on eBay but I just don't have the time!

IMPORTANT: the first two items listed are BROADCAST CARTS- they WILL NOT work in an 8-track player but will work fine in a 4-TRACK CARTRIDGE RECORDER! (These were made for the cart machines which used to be in all radio stations in the pre-digital era).

AUDIOPAK A2 Continuous Loop Professional Broadcast Cartridge: 10.5 Min., NOTE: these are BROADCAST CARTS (NOT 8-TRACKS!) made by CAPITOL, but would work in a vintage 4-TRACK CARTRIDGE machine; the 10.5 minutes is for full-track mono or half-track stereo at 7.5 IPS in an NAB cart machine, so in a 4-track stereo deck at 3.75 IPS you would get two stereo programs at 21 minutes each (42 minutes total). Clear top, black bottom, in factory box (21) $8

:-12 Min., as above this is a BROADCAST CART (NOT an 8-track!); would be 48 minutes total if used in a stereo 4-track recorder, only have one of this length $10

THE REST OF THE LISTINGS ARE 8-TRACKS, rest assured.

AUDIOPAK Professional 8-Track Tape Cartridge: 80 Min., these are old, they mention 4-track blanks being available on back! Made by Capitol (12) $8

BASF Sound Loop / 8: 64 Min. (2) $8

BLANK 8-Track Cartridge Bonus Pak: 80 Min. x2 (two 80 Min. tapes in printed bag you could hang on a wall-hook), old generic budget-line blanks in Lear style shells with hard rubber roller; price is for each bag of TWO tapes, and each bag counts as TWO tapes for postage (9) $5

CAPITOL "In The Beautiful Box" blanks, a/k/a the infamous circa 1970 "fruit box" blanks: I have the following available, all SEALED unless noted:

:-32 Min., "Pea Pod with hippie heads" box $8

:-32 Min., "Potato" box $5

:-32 Min., "Magic Mushroom" box $10

CAPITOL The Music Tape: 45 Min., these are shrinkwrapped with a loose label, no box, was their "budget line" tape (2) $4

COLUMBIA ConvertaQuad 40: 40 Min., in nice box which is totally unclear about this, but I suspect the 40 Min. is the stereo record time, so these would be 20 Min. in quad, you remove a plug from the quad "slot" to use them as quads, pretty rare either way (3) $15

DYNATAPE: 84 Min. Lubricated Blank (actually BASF, think this is very early); label shrinkwrapped to tape, no box $5

MAXELL LN 8T-46: 46 Min. (4) $5

MAXELL UD 8T-90: 90 Min., the classic gold & black Maxell box says "Quad Compatible" at 45 minutes, not sure if this is a "quad plug" cart or not? $10
