I couldn't tell ya. It came from a very low end stereo tuner rig my little brother purchased around 1969 or so, and had a 4" speaker inside, which I replaced with a larger one. I do like that it's a wood cabinet.

Thankfully most 8 tracks sound goregous!!!
Mmmm, not quite, and I have a sh**load of 'em. They're fun, and for their time produced reasonably audio quality, but the '60's-'70's have come and gone, and current methods certainly provide better fidelity.

The glue on those 8 track sensing foils dried out and comes apart very easily. The solution is to play the tape and the instant the tape machine switches to another track, quickly remove it from the tape player. You should see the sensing foil on the end of the cartridge. Replace it with new sensing foil and your tape should be good to go for a long time to come. You can buy replacement 8 track sensing foil and those spongy pressure pads on eBay. There are lots of YouTube videos on how to rebuild 8 track tape cartridges.
