Ha I had one of these and I got it with Rumors for Christmas and I took it with me everywhere and played it over and over!

@The1970sInfatuate Yah apparently so. I'm sure if they had the red at the store back in '77/'78, i wouldve wanted it.

@skulhed These things came in red, blue, and yellow.

Just bought one of these, EXACTLY like yours, today for $4.99. Works great...

In 1977 my school bus driver used to constantly play "Rumors" on one of these when it came out; I thought it was the worst piece of crap ever made. It was only after they started playing the same songs on the radio that I realized it was a great album. You could never judge music fairly after only hearing it on 8-track and/or just about any 70s portable device from Japan.

@skulhed Really? That's the first 8 track player I've ever had that was manual for changing tracks. And here I thought it had something wrong with it.

Too funny...you would just cram the tape in the deck and it would start to play....and then quite often, in the middle of a song it would fade out, go Kaklunk! change tracks, and then fade in again where it left off! Still, I miss the 70's!

Just saw an old commercial. Apparently they came in yellow, blue, and red. Imagine how much these are worth in original condition in a box. I know they are collectible now. Without the batteries in them of course, which might corrode the insides. If you knew back then, you'd buy all three colors and as many as you could afford.
I have one of these, same color. It won't change tracks automatically though for some reason..

@cubey Of course! It's not supposed to change automatically... these puppies were manual.

Would you recommend getting one of these? I'm looking for one with good clear sound and that one looks really cool. Also the portable aspect is nice.

Yeah. I would say if you really want one of these, definitely get the TNT. Getting a good sound from an 8 track is a bit futile, so might as well get one that looks cool. hehe.
