Yes, I saw that one too and thought "that is a great deal". I pulled a tape player out of a 68 in a wrecking yard about 40 years ago and as I recall that one looks identical. I think 67 is maybe the same?

I personally have purchased from this individual and is a super nice guy to deal with. P.S. you can probably purchase it cheaper as I found him very negotiable to deal with, just selling off old parts out of a car that he had and scrapped years ago.

Hi Don,

I reached out to this fella to purchase the 8 track but he replied that he wouldn't ship and I live too far away to go and pick it up.

Do you live close to him ? Could you or someone you know, pick it up for me and ship it to London, on my dime of course ?

Regards, Scott (Landshark ...)

Hi David. This was just a link to an ad for it that someone posted in case members were interested and apparently he is not willing to ship it.

I believe that 8-track player was used in 1967 and 1968. It looks like the same player that I have for my 68 Beaumont with a different front plate/surround

Beaverton is only

It's 43 miles or 69 km from Oshawa to Beaverton, which takes about 59 minutes to drive. Check a real road trip to save time.

could I do a pickup?

Too far to pick it up???? Looks like it's just shy of a 3 hour drive London to Beaverton. On the prairies we do those drives all the time for parts we're looking for. And it looks like a good deal on the player.

I should have updated to community with details on this.

My best friend, who lives nearby, is picking it up for me later this week.

The seller hasn't been very accommodating (no e-transfer and no shipping), but I've recruited my friend to help out.

Excellent. It looks like the wiring is all there but when the time comes if you have issues with it I think I have the wiring diagram for it.
