  • Notes

  • The Model TD8QW, a quadraphonic 8-track tape player is introduced by BSR McDonald, It is engineered with a unique tape head design feature. The tape heads are mounted on a straight-line stepping cam so there is intimate contact with the tape on all tracks.
    Conventional 8-track players are made with a mechanism that allows the tape head to move in an arc at the end of a swinging boom. The tape player is designed to play the new discrete 4-channel, 8-track cartridges, as well as standard stereo tapes. When used with stereo tapes, the two channels of sound play through four speakers for a room-filling effect.
    It is housed in a walnut-grained cabinet. 

    Incorporates the BSR T151 Tape Mechanism.

    Also available as the TD8Q without the wood cover.
