Quads for Trade
Hey, I finished alphabetizing my quadraphonic carts. I find I have 346 unique albums, including 5 broken tapes. I sorted out some 29 duplicates. Now I have to find 4 working speakers to hook up and try some of my players to see if they work. Yes, it's true, Swamp Rat has never, ever, actually heard quadraphonic sound. I made a great deal with Dr. 8-Track about 5 years ago, and got almost all the tapes then, but I have never since had the time and space to unpack them and set up players and all. I feel that the time has come to try it.

Meanwhile, my Santana - Welcome album needed a new splice. When I looked inside it was wound too loosely and coming off the spool in the middle. I unfurled about twenty feet - no lie - and I am still trying to get it back together again. Argh.
