Reviving a broken Moody Blues tape I found at an estate sale

It was dead but in decent condition. I've had worse!

Sabotage, Tech Ex & Never Say Die 8-tracks

Since there's less of these, I combined the 3 into one post. There's a Quad Sabotage that I've never seen, as well as a minute difference to that RCA club one. Otherwise the only ones I don't have aren't listed in Discogs yet for these 3.

Should I consider this eight track tape done for?

Got this for $40 today. So begins my journey

Picked up Alice Cooper and Willie Nelson and it played both flawlessly.

Vol4 & Sab Bloody Sab 8-tracks

I slacked for a couple days, so I'll post these two together. After MoR, there was a noticeable drop in variants.

Should I keep this Don Ho 8 track tape that I’ve fully tested and replaced the pad?

It sounds excellent I just like a few tracks didn’t know if it’s worth it in anyone’s collection?

Help with foil sensors

Trying to figure out where the foil sensor is in this pioneer player. I circled in red what I think it is, but. not sure. Have never opened an 8-track player before.

Reason why is most my 8 tracks are not automatically switching programs even though the foil strip looks good. Thanks for any help!

8 track / Weatherband / TV Radio

Would have originally picked up TV broadcasts as well. Next time I go to the UP, I'll bring it with to see if it'll pick up any analog signals from Ontario

Master of Reality 8-tracks

Master of Reality is the album I've got the most 8-track variants(as well as the most vinyl, cassette and CD variants).
MoR was the first album I bought multiple variants of, kickstarting me on my Sabbath/Ozzy collection obsession. What started as just wanting one 8 track for each Sabbath album turned into much more, collecting every variant I could find, upgrading mediocre looking copies when I could.
Non-collectors don't get it and think it's nuts or stupid. I don't bother arguing the point, it's what I thought before I ever bought multiples as well.

Saturday pickups

Picked up two Chicago tapes that have been on my wantlist for quite a while. I had to deal with a very loose tape packing on 17, but my patience paid off!
