Stumbled across this seller while gathering some Ampex parts today.
And while I (must) pride myself in putting together one wacky-ass tape collection, I do try and have some focus and keep it to reel to reel.
I know there are some of you guys who have no interest in creating artificial limits on your collecting activities so I thought I'd give you a heads up on this seller.
He says he's selling off his personal collection of 10,000 8 tracks and is testing all of them before selling.
This week he has several Lead Zep, some Beatles, Blind Faith and 4 ,..Dead tapes. All for pretty reasonable prices.
So, if you're into it:

Oh, I can assure you as the chief junk collector on this forum (anyone want to challenge me for more junk / less value?),
I have PLENTY of 8 track, quadraphonic 8 track & 4 track tapes, and PLENTY of their associated players and even recorders in some cases as well.
When I recorded them back in the day, I would let it record through the track change which seemed a less obtrusive and obnoxious compromise than the fade down - click - fade up of the commercial tapes that couldn't seem to get the breaks arraigned so as not to interrupt the songs.
Quote from the Wikipedia article on 8 tracks -
"Among audio service technicians, there used to be a joke that "the eight-track is the only audio device which knocks itself out of alignment four times during each album.""
