<VV> 8 Track Possibilities

[J R Read_HML]

I have a rather tired looking, leatherish looking case containing 15 tapes 
( a really ODD mixture of music - something for everyone?)  Have NO WAY to 
know if they work or not since I don't have an 8 track player.  Make me an 
offer - to include shipping from IL to your location.  The case measures 
13in X 6in X 6 1/2 - 7in deep.  Probably weighs 7 to 8 lbs.

Later, JR
