MusicStack has partnered with a vinyl to CD conversion service who will convert the 8-Track to recordable CD for you. It will sound great with no annoying clicks, pops or background noise.
How does this service work?
The seller will ship the 8-Track to the digital conversion center in Arizona, USA where it will be format shifted onto a recordable CD directly from the 8-Track only for your ears. The 8-Track and the recordable CD will then be mailed to you. The digital conversion center will not retain any copies of the item.
What does it cost?
Price of the 8-Track + $35 USD for the conversion to recordable CD + cost of shipping of the 8-Track to Arizona + cost of shipping of the 8-Track from Arizona to your location paid in advance.

Grading = Cover/Record. We use a modified Goldmine Grading System. VISUAL / SIGHT grading only unless a play-grade is noted. Grades from HIGHEST TO LOWEST: 1) SEALED = 'SS' / Still Sealed; unopened; guaranteed for Cover Only* 2) M = Mint; like new; open but unplayed record, cd, or tape (I almost never use this grade) 3) M- = Mint Minus (or 'Near Mint' / NM); almost like new (but NOT flawless, not 'perfect'); only 1 or 2 very tiny smudges and only a very rare tic or pop; my highest grade for used records 4) VG++ (sometimes 'EX'): has some marks scratches but few and just lite; an occasional tick or pop; very occasional slight background noise 5) VG+ = 'used but not abused' (Very Good Plus): more lite marks & a few lighter and/or smaller scratches; some noise but still mostly just background: the music still predominates 6) VG = Very Good; much-played used record; will have scratches: mostly lite but a couple could be deeper; noise increases and in a few spots might be equal to the music 7) G = Good; very used: probably still playable but; will have more scratches than VG and some deep scratches and will play with noise most or all of the time; probably won't skip or sticker but not guaranteed against skips or sticks -- sold 'As Is' 8) F or P = Fair or Poor; record will be unplayable with excess noise, deep scratches, skips, sticks, etc.; for filler only and/or for cover only; sold 'As Is' *Still Sealed LPs must be returned Still Sealed to get a refund. Any record graded VG- or higher is guaranteed NO skips or sticks '+' and '-' are used for in-between grades. All items are visually graded. Grades for both cover and media are general grades for the entire piece not inclusive of any blemishes or bonuses which are noted. For example, a grade of EX for an album cover with a cutout notch (or sawmark) means that overall the cover is in EX condition NOT including the sawmark. PRESSINGS: I have noted many records as 'original US pressing' -- this does NOT guarantee 'FIRST' Pressing!! Please let me know if you're looking for specific label or matrix variations before assuming first pressing. 8-TRACKS: May have one or more of the following without being noted in description: slight tear in shrink wrap; cut-out marking (usually a tiny drill-hole at title-end); very slight blemishes like tiny-scr-ol etc. COMMON ABBREVIATIONS: Ampex roller = on 8-Tracks; softened or gummy roller; must be replaced to play 'as is' = No returns, no refunds, no exchanges; sale is final cb = Corner(s) Bent or 'Bumped' cc = Cut Corner coh = Cut Out Hole cvr = Cover DJ = Disc Jockey copy; aka 'promo' i = Initials lg = Large (greater than 2" square) n = Name nc = No Cover (will ship in plain cover) obc = On Back Cover; as 'stkr-obc' oc = On Cover ofc = On Front Cover ol = On Label promo = Promotional aka Disc Jockey copy quad = Quadraphonic recording RE = RE-Issue; sometimes 'RI' saw = Sawmark; cutout notch in cover scr = Scratch (eg, scr-ofc = Scratch On Front Cover) slt = Slight or Slightly; less than 2" square sm = Seam small = Less than 2 square inches splt = Split stkr = Sticker (on front cover of LP if no other info given) stmp = Stamp/Stamped, as in dj-stmp-oc stn = Stain tiny = Less than 1 square inch tos = Tape On Seam(s) w = Writing

Return Policy
Almost all used records we sell are fully guaranteed: If you feel that our grading of an item is incorrect, we will be glad to issue a full or partial refund of both the cost of the item and one-way shipping charge. To receive a refund, you must notify us by email BEFORE returning the item and you must return the item within 7 days of receiving it. Please note these EXCEPTIONS: All 8-Track Tapes (sealed or open) and all Sealed LPs are sold 'AS IS' with no returns no refunds. All records graded below VG are sold as is: no returns no refunds no exchanges no credit. Since most of my sealed albums and tapes are nearly 30 years old, they may have slight tears and/or splits in the shrink wrap, but remain unplayed. Every LP or 45 graded F, G, G+ or VG- is sold 'AS IS' even if not explicitly stated in the description. If buyer has opted for shipping with no insurance, they have agreed that they will be responsible for any loss or damage to the item; this is especially important for buyers outside the US.
