1967 "Ford Family of Fine Music" , C7AZ-18816, Original 8 Track Tape. These are extremely hard to find now, especially in working condition. The 1966 and 1967 Ford Tapes were Lear Jet Pak tapes, and while stylish in appearance compared to the later 8 tracks, these had inferior foam rubber on the tape "pads", which deteriorated after a short time (makes one wonder about the Lear Jets themselves), and sometimes actually "gummed up" the tape.
Knowing this, about 10 years ago, I had all of my Lear Jet Pak tapes professionally gone through. This included disassembling the tape case (which unlike the later tapes takes special tools), cleaning the tape insides, replacing the foam pads on all, installing a new "track changing" splice on all, all were cleaned, lubricated and adjusted, and the roller replaced if necessary. These tapes have only been played twice ; once by the professional who "restored" them, and once by me after receiving them.
There was only one known version of a1967 Ford 8 Track tape produced. These were marked PC8S 500. What I offer here is an extra one of my PC8S 500 tapes, Included with the tape is a CD of 600 dpi jpeg scans of the Booklet and miscellaneous inserts that came with the 1967 tapes.
All of the 1966 promotional tapes, and the majority of 1967 tapes, came in a white plastic "tray type" box, with a clear plastic "sliding" cover. While the 1966 and 1967 boxes appear to be the same, the "PC8S" number of the appropriate tape was printed on each box. In late 1967, the box was replaced with the "well known" cardboard sleeve. No box or sleeve is included with this 1967 tape.
