Weltron 8 track players

[Mark]

I have recently obtained a 1971 Weltron 8 track tape player/ Radio, it's a very cool player. Does anyone else on this forum remember ever having one? Apart from being an 8 track player, I see it as being a great representative design for such a great decade.

I'd love to have one of those to go with my JVC Videosphere.

I knew a couple of people w/ the Dynamite plunger! And I clearly remember seeing people picnicing in the park w/ these sitting on their blankets!

I've got a couple of the Panasonic plunger 8 track players, toot-a-loop radios along with a few other different models Pretty sure Megoat has had about 1 or more of everything put out back then. BTW where are you Matt? This should be right up your alley!

They are a great player, I spent a few hours listening to it last night. It would be great to get my hands on a Plunger player aswell.

The white 8 track player is meant to be worth alot of money these days. Have you had a look at any flea markets or yard sales for one?

Great stuff. When I was a kid, I had a portable stereo 8-track player just like the one in this auction. You could separate the two speakers for true stereo sound.

Wish I still had it...

That's pretty cool. And it does kinda look like the plunger.

That would look sweet

I always wanted that Weltron player, never had it though. My friend from across the alley has one, though I think it was his older brother's if I recall correctly.

I currently own a blue Panasonic tnt box plunger style player. I still use it

When I was younger, I had a large red Panasonic player that I took with me everywhere! The neighborhood were treated to many Queen, Kiss, and oldies tapes being blasted during hot summer afternoons, hehe...
