I know everyone is into CD's and DAT's now, but I'm going to bring
up 8-track tape cartridges. 

Everyone done gasping in disbelief? All right.
 
What I am looking for is several 8-track transports. (at least
10 or 12, initially). These will be used to make a continuous 
music system where the tape loops will be played in sucession.
(I am also developing a method of providing limited random access
to songs in this "tape bank")
 
If anyone knows where I might procure surplus 8 track tape transports
(which, by the way, should use low voltage as opposed to 120 V), or 
knows of a better, *inexpensive* way to accomplish a similar result,
please let me know.
 
Thakns in advance....
