AC/DC- For Those About To Rock 8-Track Tape. Splice-Tested. Yellow Label

Description: AC/DC- For Those About To Rock 8-Track Tape. Splice-Tested. Yellow Label As pictured. In a brief test, it pulled smoothly and sounded good. The splice remained intact and the existing foil strip changed the channel properly. The tape was tested on a clean, well-maintained Pioneer H-R100. But this is NOT a guarantee that any/every machine will yield similar performance-- or for how long. Be aware that different make/model players have significant variations in build quality, cleanliness and maintenance and can yield vastly different results with the same tape. Since there is no practical way for a seller to evaluate the veracity of a reported ‘problem’ or guarantee that every 40 or 50 year old tape is going to play perfectly on any machine a buyer might choose to pop it into—I simply DON’T. This is a used, unrestored tape that would likely benefit from servicing/rebuilding. Thus, it’s sold STRICTLY as an as-is collectors/ display item with no returns, refunds or adjustments. In fact, it is strongly suggested that this tape be carefully evaluated and/or rebuilt before any playback attempt is made. Be aware that just about every used 8-track on eBay is sold this exact same way. But in the event of a performance issue, I’ll be happy to provide contact information for my 8-track guy who, for about $3, will completely rebuild it with a new pressure pad, splice, and sensing foil—a smokin’ good deal considering the time involved.Sorry for the lengthy disclaimer! Most 8-track guys are quite aware of the legendary unreliability of this format, and probably keep a splicing block, razor blade and sensing foil at the ready. But it gives me something firm and final to paste into a return message from somebody who’s shocked—SHOCKED!!-- that this 60 year-old Sears Silvertone ate a 50 year old 8-track tape-- and implies that this is somehow MY responsibility. It isn’t. - SHIPPING NOTES- Fast Shipping! Generally, orders received by 1PM Pacific get to the Post Office the same day. U.S. CUSTOMERS: A package of four tapes weighs under a pound, so an order of up to four can ship via USPS Media Mail for the same price as ONE! Thus, purchasing multiples saves you significantly over ordering one at a time. Put everything in your cart, then order. Nonetheless, due to the way eBay calculates combined orders, you will likely be overcharged for shipping at checkout. But with multi-tape orders, I subtract the actual cost of the label from the total you were charged for shipping—then promptly refund the difference. If a domestic the order is for over $40 (not including sales tax), I’ll refund ALL the shipping. Fair enough? NON-U.S. CUSTOMERS: With most International orders, “one pound and under” packages can be sent quite reasonably. Four well-packed 8-track tapes weigh just under a pound, so four can be sent for the same price as ONE. However, given the way eBay calculates the weight of combined orders, you will likely be overcharged for shipping at check-out. But with each multi-tape International order, I subtract the actual cost of the label from the total you paid for shipping—then promptly refund the difference. Often, I’ll get an inquiry as to the cost of Internationally shipping a box 30 or 40 tapes, but this never works out—since International rates tend to rise exponentially with the weight and size of the package.BX35
