We've had numerous customers mention a certain fondness for 8-track tapes over the years. As strange a format as 8-tracks were, they certainly had a loyal following and a pretty good foothold on the entertainment industry for the late 60s and early 70s. Most of our customers, who have a love of audio throughout the years have "confessed" to a box or two of tape recordings that they've just not had the heart to throw away. Some folks even had rare recordings that were imprisoned on 8-track tapes with little hope of rescue in a world that has largely forgotten the format itself. Until now. Tracer is proud to introduce the 8-Track Repair Tutorial DVD. This comprehensive repair and restoration video will explain:

• The History Of The 8-Track
• Opening The Cartridges
• Repairing Torn Tape
• Replacing Sensing Foil
• Repairing and Servicing Your 8-Track Deck
• Replacing Your Pressure Pads
• Restoring And Enhancing Your Audio Using Audio Mentor

This 40-minute DVD will answer your questions and provide a hands-on demonstration that will take the mystery out of the 8-track and let you archive those important recordings once and for all to CD, MP3 or other modern formats.
