1970's Realistic Model 14-918 - 8 TRACK TAPE PLAYER, works

$15.00

For Sale- Tested and working rare classic Realistic Stereo Portaplay 8 track deck.

 
Not much wear.  Unique design.  Sound quality is OK with the included tapes.  Sometimes you have to shift the tape around a bit to get the sound to come in clear.  You should be able to use as-is but ideally should be gone over and cleaned internally, lubricated, belt replaced, etc.   All controls good, program change button good, all indicator lights are working. Speed sounds correct.  Battery compartment is clean, the spring terminals have surface oxidation on them but can be cleaned.  Works on AC, 8 D batteries, or 12 volt.   
 
I am including 4 (worn but working) tapes that were tested with this:
  • Steely Dan   Pretzel Logic
  • Jonathan Edwards
  • Kenny Rogers   Greatest Hits
  • Charlie Rich   Very Special Love Songs

Send your zip code for ship cost- should be between $7.95 and $15.95 if you are in the continental USA (Nov. 2012).
