Alice Cooper- Muscle Of Love 8-Track Tape. Tested, Plays

Description: Alice Cooper- Muscle Of Love 8-Track Tape. Tested, PlaysAs pictured. In a brief test, it pulled smoothly and sounded good. Good pads. - SHIPPING NOTES- U.S. CUSTOMERS: A package of FIVE tapes weighs under a pound, so an order of up to five can ship via USPS Media Mail for the same price as ONE! Thus, purchasing multiples saves you significantly over ordering one at a time. Put everything in your cart, then order. Nonetheless, due to the way eBay calculates combined orders, you will likely be overcharged for shipping at checkout. But with multi-tape orders, I subtract the actual cost of the label from the total you were charged for shipping—then promptly refund the difference. If a domestic the order is for over $40 (not including sales tax), I’ll refund ALL the shipping. Fair enough? NON-U.S. CUSTOMERS: With most International orders, “one pound and under” packages can be sent quite reasonably. Five 8-track tapes weigh just under a pound, so five can be sent for the same price as ONE. However, given the way eBay calculates the weight of combined orders, you will likely be overcharged for shipping at check-out. But with each multi-tape order, I subtract the actual cost of the label from the total you paid for shipping—then promptly refund the difference. Often I’ll get an inquiry as to the cost of shipping 30 or 40 tapes, but this never works out—since International rates rise exponentially with the weight and size of the package. All tapes are sold strictly as collector’s/ display items with NO guarantee concerning their operating condition -- unless picked up in person. 8-track tapes were never intended to travel through the mail and rough handling can, on rare occasions, result in the tape un-spooling-- something over which I have no control. Unspooling is the reason a tape might go “Whump… Whump… Whump” rather than tracking smoothly—as God intended. As this is a notoriously unreliable format, performance and sound quality of 8-track tapes is hit or miss. The observation that a given tape played fine on my Realistic TR-169 is not a guarantee that it will perform similarly on your machine. Generally, they are not splice-tested, and occasionally one might separate at the sensing foil. An easy fix with some scissors and Scotch Tape—just like it was 1974 all over again… For these reasons, 8-track tapes are sold “As-Is” and returns are not accepted. But in the event of a problem I’ll be happy to provide contact information for my 8-track guy who, for about $3, will rebuild it with new pads, splice, and sensing foil. 009
