Cassette 8 track adapter

[JohnnyBoy83]

Found this at a thrift store. Is this rare? Basically an adapter that allows you to play cassettes on 8 track player.

I never knew anyone who owned one of those, and I grew up during the 8-track and cassette era. That gadget may be rare, but so what?

I've seen those on a couple of occasions during my thrift store / garage sale runs. I actually purchased one, to test with my 8 track player at home. Not impressed with the sound at all! Kind of a neat novelty though.

A serious kludge, at best, but an interesting idea. A cool novelty.

Enjoy,

Can't tell you how many 8-track players in cars I pulled out in the 80s with one of those sticking out of it ...

As a HS teenager driving my dad's car with 8-track deck.....I used one all the time to play my cassettes. Again as a teen I thought it sounded bad-a$$ in my dad's noisy car......LOL

Never thought about it being used in a car...its w neat thing to have

See them all the time why way back when I even saw the reverse,8 Track to Cassette Adapter

I used to use those back in the '70s to play cassettes in my 8-track decks.
Not great quality but they did work until I changed out to a real cassette unit.
I found a couple of these recently and passed them on to my son.
He collects early Monte Carlos and a couple have 8-track decks.
I then also bought him a cassette to iPod adapter at a dollar store.
He can now play his iPod/iPhone in his old cars with no modifications.
Again, not the best sound but he does maintain his original radio for 'collector' car insurance status.

That's the last stage in the chain of devices needed to use your new iPhone 7 with your vintage 8 track player:

I think those adaptors are the best way to get Annie Lenox to sound like Barry White......
