Radios and 8 Track Players I Accept - General Pricing

Prices Are Not Final Until I Have Evaluated Your Unit On the Bench

Prices below assume that all controls and the 8 track playback head are in satisfactory condition, and that the radio's tuner already operates smoothly. Don't look for your exact model, as only one of each general TYPE of unit is shown to keep this page neat and clean. I DO NOT BUY OR SELL RADIOS OR 8 TRACK PLAYERS.

Delco T-200 8 Track Player

365.00

Repair to original OR convert for use with a modern or converted radio that has an Aux input.  For best sound, conversion is best.

Delco T-400 8 Track Player

295.00

Repair to original OR convert for use with a modern or converted radio that has an Aux input.  For best sound, conversion is best.

AM Radio, Original Factory Classic

440.00

Conversion to add FM.  Can QUADRUPLE

output power with a new harness in place of the original connectors - see Work Order.

Original Factory Classic AM-FM Radio

440.00

Conversion to modern electronics.  Can also greatly boost output power with a new harness in place of the original connectors.

Classic Combination 8 Track Radio

575.00

Conversion to new electronics. Can also greatly boost output power.  If radio is

AM only, it comes back with FM stereo also.

Full System,Separate Radio and 8 Track

795.00

Convert both units for optimum system sound and performance.  REQUIRES ALL NEW SPEAKER WIRING AND SPEAKERS.

Ford Radio with QUAD 8 Track

575.00

After conversion, this model will no longer 

play QUAD tapes as the conversion module

has only 2 discrete audio channels.

Sorry, NO Radios with Digital Tuning

No Way!

The conversion electronics require the inductive properties of an ANALOG tuner,

with a pointer that moves across the dial.

8 Track Radios Less Than 3 Inches Tall

Varies

Poor candidates for conversion due to smaller and cheaper controls, cheaper lightweight 8 track mechanism and limited internal space.

Small Component Home Player (Repair)

125.00

For an additional 50.00 I will replace the head preamp with my own design 

for brighter sound.

Recording Decks - Most (Repair)

249.00

Covers most recording decks except Akai and Wollensak.  A new motor will cost an extra 49.00 on medium grade recording decks.

Akai High-End Recorders (Repair)

325.00

New motor is INCLUDED, as all high end 

Akais tend to run a bit slow.  My new motor

will have ADJUSTABLE SPEED.

Wollensak High-End Recorders (Repair)

325.00

New motor is INCLUDED, as it is the main point of failure on all Wollensak recorders.  My new motor is ADJUSTABLE SPEED.

Akai High-End Recorders (Repair)

325.00

New motor is INCLUDED, as all high end Akais

run just a bit slow and are not adjustable.  My new motor will have ADJUSTABLE SPEED.

Receiver with 8 Track Built In (Repair)

Varies

Repair to 8 track section ONLY.  Radio section must be working through both speakers.  Price

varies depending on size and features.

Sorry, NO Record Player Consoles

0.00

Too difficult to pack safely, too much chance of significant damage, and I'm simply getting too old to handle such large and heavy packages.

Sorry, NO Portables

0.00

If I can't replace the motor, I won't take the job. Such motors are no longer available, and their

failure rate DOESN'T improve with age.  Thus, long term reliability cannot be guaranteed.

Please, No Strange Requests

0.00

I don't custom-build echo chambers using 8 track parts, convert home units for car use or do anything far outside a unit's design purpose.

input is INCLUDED with all radio conversions.
