Har holdt på å kjøpe 8-tracks flere ganger. Men skal jeg ha dem så skal de ha papp coverne. Det er da de ser kule ut. Uten cover blir det spm kassetter uten cover. Ellers har jeg også holdt på å kjøpe "reel to reel tapes" et par ganger.
Kan noen forklare meg som aldri har fått med meg hva 8 Tracks egentlig er, er?
Er det 8 sanger, eller er det noe annet? Fått med meg at i USA brukte man det i biler på 80-tallet men der stopper det for min del...
Første gang jeg hørte om det trodde jeg det var 8 track i den form at det var som et hjemmestudio der man kunne skille 8 div spor fra hverandre.. Hehe.. DET hadde jo vært feta!
En vanlig kassett har jo 4 spor mens en 8track har da 8. Er vel bare det at den er delt opp mer da, men hva har dette å si for lyden kontra en vanlig kassett? Noen om vet?
"An 8-track cartridge contains a length of 1/4 inch tape. The ends
of the tape are connected by a metal foil splice, thus forming a loop.
The tape itself is divided along its length into 8 channels, or tracks
(hence the name). The playback head plays 2 of these tracks at a time -
4 programs in stereo. Inside the cartridge, the tape is wound around a
central hub, or spool. Tape pulls out from the center of the spool. It
moves to the top of the cartridge, where it connects with the playback
head in the player through an opening at the top of the cartridge. A
pressure pad in the cartridge presses the tape up against the playback
head. The capstan (part of the player) is spun by the player's motor.
As the capstan spins, it rolls the tape against the pinch roller in the
cartridge. The capstan and the pinch roller move the tape along its
path at 3 and 3/4 inches per second. The tape finally loops back to the
central hub, where it rewraps around the outside of the spool. When the
entire length of tape has gone through this loop, the metal foil splice
in the tape passes by a solenoid sensing coil which is positioned right
next to the playback head in the player. This moves the playback head
along the width of the tape, and it starts to play a new program (remember, the
tape contains 8 tracks, only 2 of which are supposed to be played at once)."
