Electro-Brand Swinger, model EB6631, portable top loading 8 track stereo tape player. Made in Japan. Hinged design player swings out into two speakers, or can be completely separated to place the speakers apart (although still connected by the cable). Runs on batteries or AC power cord, which is included. Also has an outlet for 12 volt power (12 volt car cigarette lighter adapter/cord not included). Controls for volume, tone and track selection.
Player is in very good condition, but does have some minor surface wear. No cracks or chips or other damage to the case. Case does show a bit of light scuffing in spots, particularly to the painted metal portions on front. Handle is retractable. Measures about 10 1/2 inches wide when closed.
Important Information - Please Note:
The photos on this page are of the
exact 8 track tape player that you will receive. After purchase, your player
will be sent to the electronics department for a full cleaning inside and out
by qualified electronics technicians each with more than two decades of
experience. After a rigid inspection, it will also receive a full tune-up by
qualified electronics technicians, each with more than two decades of
experience. When you receive your player, it will sound as good as the day it
was first purchased...guaranteed! This process will take from 7-14 days
(more-or-less, give or take, depending on other recent order volume).
You are not only purchasing a vintage 8-track player, but also a professional
restoration of the electronics inside and a solid guarantee. This player is
guaranteed for one year, to play like new. And this warranty can be extended
indefinitely simply by purchasing $50 worth of any merchandise (music, games,
electronics...etc.) from the 8-Track-Shack per year after the first year.
Exceptions to 8 track player warranty:
Water damage
Damage from dropping & other non-mechanical occurances
Damage caused by gummy rollers (check your tapes prior to
insertion into player)
It is understandable that some individuals may wish to perform the tune-up and
restoration themselves, or may just want the player to add to a collection or
some other use. If that is the case, 8-Track-Shack will deduct $100 from the
purchase price and ship immediately. If you would like to take advantage of
this option, please purchase the player through our website, then call
8-Track-Shack customer service and one of our reps will refund you immediately
for the difference. Keep in mind, if you choose this option, the player will
be in no way guaranteed. It may have a variety of common problems that
prevent it from playing well or at all, which may include:
Broken belt
Dried out belt
Non-working track selector lights
Non-working track selector button
Loose wiring
Dried / damaged roller
Damaged head
Non-working motor
Bad capstan
Mis-aligned head
Bad speaker(s)
Issues with built in radio (if applicable)
Issues with volume & other controls
Dirty & magnetized head
Dirty and/or gummy capstan
Virtually all players that have not been professionally tuned-up or restored
will have several of the above problems, and are also likely to develop more
without proper servicing. (ie. If you find a player - either somewhere else
online, at an antique store or elsewhere offline - unless it has been
professionally serviced, the player is almost assured to not function 100%
properly and will undoubtedly develop more problems that will affect tape play
and listening enjoyment and very likely will damage your tapes). Even if you
find a player that is described as "working," it is unlikely that it will
perform properly for long, if at all.
8-Track-Shack highly recommends not opting out of the professional servicing.
Your ears and your tape collection will thank you.
