Well let me congratulate you on a truly fascinating restoration of this beautiful little machine. I had a similar 8-track player back in my youth, so it brought back memories. I did want to say I got a chuckle seeing you use the wood-grain vinyl wrap to cover the case at the end. Fake woodgrain wrap and wallpaper, oddly enough, a very 70s thing, and that paper you used is identical to that which I remember seeing when I was a wee lad in the early 1970s.

Thanks for showing how to take apart that cartridge, most of mine have screws but one of them had the same style of metal thing that you had. I probably would have used the wrong thing and destroyed the cartridge if I hadn’t seen how you did it. Thanks!

Nice video. Wow, a lot of disassembly to get capstan off! Plug looks German. The "chrome-like" finish that's pitted and greenish can usually be cleaned/polished with metal polish. Rust can be removed with Drexel and wire rotary brush

Good job. That was a tremendous amount of work especially with the controls but you got it almost like new.

How were you able to open the 8- track cart? I saw the heat gun and all that but after heat do you just give it a twist?

After applying heat it just pulls apart. The metal fastener is ribbed rather than having a thread, so the heat softens the plastic retainer enough for it to pull out.

1:04 Most of mainland Europe runs on 220-240V, 50 Hz, and used those plugs. So the machine could come from the Netherlands indeed but since 8 track never really caught on there, my money is on Germany or France.

I found a very good 8 track system. Thank you to the person who sold it to me. It plays very good:
