Pioneer 8 Track for Rack mount match?

Probably a poor title but need to ask. Do any of the Pioneer silver face 8 tracks work well for a rack mount appearance (No wooden case or take the case off)? :scratch2:

Thanks for any info.

Well, this is a tough one. From all that I could find, I like the possibilities for the H-R99K the best.

Here are photos/specs, with the year of the catalog in which the component was found, for:

1975 H-R99 (German)
1970 H-60
1970 H-601
1970 H-802 (German)
1970 H-82 (German)
1970 H-R82 (German)
1973 H-R99K

edit: added a QT-2100 from a 1972 German catalog.

Thanks Doc. Its a stretch to put an 8 track in a rack setting. But its highly possible I'll end up with both a rack and non rack setups. Have to see how things go. Can always put an 8 track in a non rack system. This stuff sure is addictive, isn't it! :yes:

Your assistance is always appreciated.

Thanks again, Doc. I think I'll hold off and watch for a 99K 8 track. Its really only needed so I have an example of Pioneer gear for each mode of music enjoyment. With both an SX-950 and Sa-9500, I could go rack or non rack with the eight track. And I'm really leaning toward putting it with the SX-950 (non rack). There is some 8 track out there, but limited for obvious reason. The 8 track site/club/forum is a good source for info also.

Gotta go do a little jury duty trick tomorrow so have to put stuff on hold for awhile.

Doc, you gettin enought sleep?? :boring: Just making note of the time! :scratch2:

I like it. If I could find a way to justify playing (and recording) 8Tracks, I would look for one.

Siamac probably has one...<g>!

50...10000Hz, 45db noise ---> sorry, but no justification :no:
