	The Bad Fads Museum - 8 Tracks
		Soon 8-Track tapes were being sold for pennies on the dollar at every thrift store, garage sale or flea market in town.
		First, although the cartridges offered multiple tracks, the players did not offer the ability to browse forward or back through the tape.
		Finally, the size of the cartridges were inconvenient and bulky, making the coming of the cassette tape a welcome relief for many users.

	Steve Moss' Cheap Homepage - 8-Track Memories
		The 2600 cartridges were on the shelf right next to the 8-tracks, and they looked like a huge collection, together.
		Even back then his parents didn't play them anymore, but my family never had an 8-track system, so that was the first time I'd seen any.
		A few days later, on my lunch break, I vowed I'd go to the local Goodwill (which happened to be right across the road from the Media Play where I worked) to see what cartridges I might find to test whether my deck worked.

	A History of Prerecorded Audio
		Four-track and 8-track cartridges coexisted on the marketplace for some time, with the 8-track format eventually defeating by attrition its look-alike cousin (before in turn being overtaken by the cassette format).
		The tracks themselves (the portion of the magnetic tape holding the information) were only half as wide as those on 8-tracks, and cassette tape moved at half of 8-track's speed, combining for a very low perceived potential for sound reproduction.
		In the 8-track system, the pinch roller was housed in the cartridge itself.

	Old Computer Ad - The Exidy Sorcerer MetaFilter
		Those are ROM cartridges, not 8 tracks, and it probably did hook up to a TV.

	8-track cartridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 8-track cartridge is an audio storage magnetic tape cartridge technology, popular from the late 1960s to the early 1980s.
		The 8-track version simplified the mechanism by rolling the motorized metal capstan in the player against a pinch wheel installed inside the cartridge to pull the tape across the player's read head (in the earlier 4-track Stereo-Pak, the pinch wheel was part of the player and flipped into the cartridge through a hole).
		The stereo compact audio cassette was much less than half the size of an 8-track cartridge.

	Eight track tape alignment instrument
		Eight track tape cartridges and the tapes thereof tend to wear through use which results in malfunctioning and/or a poor quality of sound.
		The principal object of the present invention is to provide an eight track tape aligning instrument for insertion between a tape cartridge and its receiving cavity in a tape player so as to enable readjustment of the pressure between the magnetic tape and the capstan of a tape player.
		It is customary for the magnetic tape to travel within the cartridge and be conveyed across head 14 at a speed of 33/4 inches per second, so it is essential that the tape be properly aligned therewith, with inward pressure of the cartridge pressing the cartridge wheel 17 and the tape against capstan 8.

	Untitled Document
		The spine reads SENTRY 8-Track Recording Cartridge with a very large and prominent 80 and under it, very small, the word minutes and another oval with the British marching soldier.
