Welcome to 8 track avenue.com!!

NEW!  I have added a section in the menu that I hope will grow as the year progresses.  The "New Releases" section in the menu bar will give you a drop down list of websites to go to that are offering New Releases on 8 Track and in some cases Cassette.  These are small Independent labels.  So please check them out.   Also, if you are a small label (or just someone who wants to mix things up color wise) and would like foam pads in colors other than white and gray, I plan on adding orange, green and blue foam pads to the mix later this year.  

 

For all of your audio and video transfer needs please click the banner below to go to the Audio Restorations website. 

 

 

 

The price for repairs has gone up slightly.  Please check out THIS page for the new pricing.  This applies to all formats I repair.   Please note there is still a 40 tape limit on U.S repair jobs.  This helps keep things a little bit more manageable for me.  Current work load repair job wise is very heavy.  With the exception of Expedited orders and Etsy Orders, May is most likely when I will get to repair jobs sent to me this month (March 2024).

Foam pads are a very popular item and I frequently get large emailed orders from others who do 8 track tape repairs.  So they will more often not show up as "out of stock" in my webstore.  If you need some, just email me and I can make an order up for you.  Remember, U.S customers get free shipping on orders $35 and up.  International customers, I now have MUCH cheaper shipping rates available for your repair supply orders.  So please check them out or contact me for a quote.

UK Customers (and select surrounding countries) you now have an online store in the UK to buy used 8 track tapes, sensing foil and the foam pads I make!  Save money on shipping and customs fees.  Russ is constantly adding new titles to his online store.  Check it out at https://8tracks.uk/

 

 

 

I have been getting a lot of inquiries regarding 4 Track/multi-track Cassette recording device repairs.  Unfortunately I have no experience with these machines.  However I recommend you check out the Audio Kharma forums HERE.  You should be able to find the help you need in those forums. 

I occasionally post updates about products and services on my Facebook Page as well as my blog

There are a lot of fun groups on Facebook dedicated to the 8 track tape.  I belong to several, and have worked out discounts for anything in my webstore for members of the following Facebook Groups:

 

8 Tracks In The Wild

8 Track Fixation

Come join the fun and save a little dough on your 8 track tape repair supplies too.  In either group you can buy/sell tapes, discuss 8 track tape repair, general 8 track tape discussion and much much more.  Details and coupon codes are available upon joining either group.

Looking for tapes to purchase?  Be sure and check out the 8 Track Tape Store.  They have the largest catalog of 8-track tapes for sale in the world!

Elvis Presley Fans.  Check out Joe Spera's website Elvis Presley Tapes.  Dedicated to cataloging Elvis Presley's albums that were released on Reel to Reel, 8 Track and Cassette.  LOTS of fun information and pictures on here. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back when 8 Track Decks became available in vehicles, car manufacturers had tapes custom made with the car company names on them.  You can find out the history of these tapes  at Auto 8 Track Shack.

 

 

 

If you have a classic car with an 8 track deck that needs restored.  And maybe even a modern upgrade such as Bluetooth added, Barry at The 8 Track Repair Center is your guy.
