| The ancient DELCO 4-knobber, 8 track underdash (no radio). Model # 6264547 and many others This is the classic of all classics, and is likely the best car 8 track machine ever manufactured. With a huge motor/capstan team, heavy flywheel and thick belt for consistent speed, this is the "Sherman Tank" of car 8 track units. They always need many hours of labor to return to factory performance, and will operate like new for a good 15 years, once fully serviced and restored. Please allow up to 2 months for the complete job. $250 to $325 |
| Kraco, Sparkomatic and other relatively "newer" model underdash units. You can expect good performance from models manufactured in the 70's and 80's after a few hours of work in my shop. These were added to cars by do-it-yourselfers during the big 8 track craze, are built much cheaper than the older models and typically weigh less than 3 pounds. Despite their cheap designs, they generally sounded pretty decent and are much easier to repair. Their main drawback is the small motors and capstans, which usually results in very slight speed variations with worn tapes. $125 to $150 |
| Delco 2-knobber Simple operation with only 2 knobs (volume and balance, no tone controls). Another great machine with a nice warm sound, this model does not have nearly as much "guts" as the one above. $225 to $275 |
| Delco pushbutton Radio-8 Track combos Due to their highly compact designs, parts availability issues and many other factors, I ask customers to describe the problem if possible before accepting these for repair. These take many, many hours of labor to restore to factory performance, but work and sound great when finished. Generally, the older and dirtier the unit, the more expensive it will be to fully repair. Please plan on 3 MONTHS in my shop. $250 to $350 |
