I had three 9-tracks I'd picked up a few
years ago. None worked
out of the box; they collected dust. Last weekend I knew I'd pass
by http://www.comco-inc.com/ in Bettendorf, Iowa, one of the few
9-track sales and service places I'd found.
This fellow called me again today, out of the blue.
In the year ahead, he hopes to sell his building and down-size,
focusing on the repair of smaller drives and dumping the bulk
of his 9-track business. It sounds like he has a bunch of
88780-class 9-tracks that'll go to the scrapper.
