Analogue tape Repair Supplies and Services
Welcome to 8trackavenue.com!!
​​
8 Track Tape, 4 Track Tape, Cassette Tape, Broadcast Cart, Apollon, and Play Tape repair supplies. If you like to do your own tape repairs, or do tape repairs for others, you've come to the right place! I sell repair items for many different vintage audio tape formats. My online store is divided into sections based on audio format. Just move your mouse arrow over the "Shop" section above for a drop down menu of those sections.
For 8 track tape enthusiasts, the "Tune Up Your Tape" section has useful information as to what items/tools will be helpful with your repairs. If you are new to the 8 track hobby and are are wanting to start repairing/tuning up your own tapes, please check out that section. My recommendation as far as repair supplies that I sell is always going to be to purchase one of my repair kits. It will give you the basics as far as pads, sensing foil, etc. And give you a chance to try out my products to see if they are a good fit. As well as give you a chance to see if repairing your own tapes is something you think you want to continue doing. Without having a bunch of left over supplies you may not use.

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 online store. If you need some, just click on the "contact me" text at the bottom of the page me and I can make an order up for you.
​​I am now refilling Apollon-HiPac tapes! Your choice of 3 or 6 minutes worth of New Old Stock tape (those are the only two options at this time). Also included in the service are new foam/felt pads, cleaning of inner and outer cartridge shell. And proper tensioning of the tape. Price is currently $30 per tape + shipping. Please purchase the repair by clicking the link below BEFORE sending the cartridge out to me for repair. Thank you!

​​​​​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 Karma forums HERE. You should be able to find the help you need in those forums.

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.
