This is, in my opinion, the sexyest looking 1/2" 8 track in the world ever.

It is an ITAM 806 circa 1980 made in London.

I have an ITAM 805 which I still havn't fixed yet, which I thought was the sexyest looking 8-track but this one looks even better, and it works. I will be picking it up next week and I can't wait!!! :D :D :D :D :D

These machines are based on (made from) revox A77 and B77 chassey, transport, motors etc. so parts an't too difficult to get hold of except for the cards.

£90!!!! What a bargain!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D

I just wanna say that Bob, (hey Bob, you mind if I call you Bob) is the most inspirational musician I have ever seen. Like my wife always tells me "it's not what you did, it's what you didn't do" He didn't do so many things. He didn't sing well, he really didn't even play that well, he definately didn't tame his dynamics, and the best one of all he HATED popularity. That special that PBS put on was so funny. The press were asking him "deep" questions and he was just saying "I don't know what do you think? I'm just singing, I wasn't speaking about anything". The best one, was this beetnik guy who seemed to be the standard music lover back then. He asked about his album picture with his motorcycle shirt on, he wanted so bad for Bob to have some deep all powerful, larger than life meaning for every artistic thing he did, and Bob said, "I never really looked at the picture, I don't remember it at all." the guy was crushed. Here's my theory, back then, (and I'll add, I am a youngling, but my Dad was around then) I gather that everyone was so desperately looking for any sign of rebelion and so excited about rebeliion just for the sake of rebelion, that it even came down to a guy who completely rebelled against all of what pop musicians set as a standard for what you're supposed to be. He just did what he liked and that's it. So people loved that because of what it was....rebellion. And I really do dig his songs, they do sound good. I might be way off, but whatever.
