Up for sale is a Realistic Radio Shack TR-175 8-Track Player with RCA Jacks - WorksYes it works, and it sounds good, but as this is over 40 years old, there is a couple of flaws you can either choose to fix or overlook
The track skip solenoid doesn't work all the time - it might need some lubrication. Hitting the button a few times, or tapping the player seems to help
A weird thing I noticed is you can press the left side of the tape to get it to skip tracks
It runs about 5% fast. If you are not familiar with a song, it might not be that noticeable - if you know it well, it can be.
Think of a 33 1/3 RPM record running at 35 RPM
Stairway to Heaven plays in 7:36, not 8:02
There is a speed adjustment on the bottom - I'll let you tune that screw
Thanks For Looking!!
