Best 8 Track Tape Home Unit Made

Technics by Panasonic Model 858 (Quad record/PB and Stereo)

I had to go all the way through mine in order to get the best out of it (the speed adjustment is on the MOTOR SHAFT-duhhhhhhh) along with new belts and massive post restoration cleanup, but once I was finished it sounds very much like GOOD 3.75 inch RTR.......

The best sounding 8 track deck in my experience is the Wollensack 8075A. This unit has the best sounding preamp I've ever heard in an 8 track unit. The unit also has Dolby B NR. Akai also made good 8 track decks, the CR80, 81, and GR82 are very good 8 track decks. Pioneer HR99 and HR100 decks and pretty good too. The problem with buy a deck ebay, is most of them are in need of a new belt and head adjustment.
