TC 8 Update
Now my Sony player is emitting a high pitched squeal from the left channel.
I opened up the unit to see if maybe it was a lubriaction issue (it wasn't.) The sound emits when the unit is switched on, even w/o a tape inserted. Any thoughts? |

Seriously, it sounds like something's going into oscillation, usually caused by a dried up, bad capacitor, but it could be any number of issues. I don't like/buy/use Sony products because of their long history of failure. |

fire hydrants in Bumler! Seriously? How can that be? It's not like he lives in a desert. Should be plenty of water around, no? |

The info's out on the web and has been posted on this NG a couple of times. Also, "Bumler" residents have to boil their water a lot before consumption because of dirty piping and frequent pipe breaks. Must be nice to live in such a "resort," eh? I'm on the LA County Waterworks. We never have water supply problems, never have "boil advisories" and I DO live in a desert. HA! Oh yes, I also have a county fire hydrant right in front of my place, and yes, it produces copious amounts of fire fighting water on demand. |

I would have thought a populated and well established state like PA would be more up to date. Sounds quite wacky. |

Did you fix your TC-8?
I was moving some boxes in the basement the other day and ran across my old TC-8. Is there much demand for these old units? I bought mine around 1968. I had a Camero that I put an 8-Track player in and wanted to be able to make my own tapes. I quit using the TC-8 when someone 'borrowed' the player out of my car. I did not buy a replacement player for the Camero. Let me know if you have any interest in it, I'm not using it anymore. |
