[dr8track]

Still a few hours more to bid on a Masterworks receiver w/ built in quad 8 track. You can check it out on Ebay here;

I've tried to see this twice to no avail; my best friend had one of these Masterworks systems purchased at Pacific Stereo in April 1973. We used to coordinate our Quad 8 tape purchases and then swap the title backs and forth. That way we had more titles to choose from. I had the trusty (hissy) Panasonic gear RE7750 / RS845US Q8 deck which played okay but sounded like a low tech rainstorm of hiss at times. 40 watts? maybe during a solar eclipse...

Yeah, the Masterwork is not exactly what you'd describe as a high-end system. It sold, but if you'd like to take a look at a few images of it you can see them here;

Thanks for the pics, my friend's unit looked different; more woodgrain and a little chrome, different front panel altogether...
