Good choice to leave it alone.
My 8-track came integrated with the stereo receiver, which had the "quadraphonic" thrown in as part of the package deal. I used the 8-track player some; bought a few 8-track tapes--ex. Tommy James and the Shondells; one of the Osmond Brothers, I think; a tribute to Deep Purple (by who knows?); one of Bob Seger. I can't remember the rest right now. What choice did we have back then? The cutting-edge cassette tape medium hadn't started to be used yet for music. Eight-track was basically all that you had. The Good 'Ole Days.
