It took me a few months after I posted the Pioneer QSX-8000 Quadraphonic Receiver, but I was finally able to find a Quadraphonic 8-Track Player, the Panasonic that is pictured here sitting on top of the Pioneer Quad Receiver. I had three" normal" 8 tracks that I had picked up somewhere along the way, but purchased two quadraphonic demo tapes- one of them is playing during this photo. While it is much more common to see an LP spinning on a turntable these days, and even an occasional cassette playing in a car or home stereo, finding an 8-track playing is extemely unusual, let alone a quadraphonic one. The sound quality is not too bad- about like a cassette without Dolby on, with a little bit wow and flutter, not great dynamic range, but definetly listenable! Quadraphonic 8 tracks had a short run, from 1970-1978, so the tapes are at least 40 years old, which may have a little to do with the sound quality, but all play. There is something magical that happens when the player shifts to the next track- even if it is in the middle of playing something- that makes one go back in time...
