Estate sale around here appears to have someone's lifetime 8-track collection, stored in a barn. 🤔

@ai6yr every single one I expect to have weather induced sticky shed and a disintegrated pressure pad.

@FuturisticRobert @ai6yr If it's like most old-media stashes, it's probably 90% stuff everyone has, but maybe a few oddities worth salvaging.

@14mission @ai6yr that's why this image is a bit depressing to see. It's the same pain I feel when I see a box of broken shellac 78's.

@FuturisticRobert @14mission I have a giant box full of 78's under my parent's stairs, WW2 "Victory Discs". Or I did if my dad didn't go crazy and throw them all in a trash bin in the last couple of years. (he's been purging stuff since my mom died).

@14mission @ChuckMcManis Hands down the best "barn find" I have run across so far.

Heathkit EC-1 (not fully assembled). Oldest computer I have owned. (I sold it, however... not sure if to someone collecting it or a museum!). It was in a rat infested barn (really)!! Only the knobs there had been attached, nothing wired up, all the parts in a box (though, I moved them all out of that box... as I mentioned, the barn was rat infested!!! lol).

@14mission @ChuckMcManis I didn't buy this other barn find, someone else did (probably for a great price). Out of the barn of the descendents of the original settlers of our town here... (the whole town was part of their ranch). #BarnFind

@ai6yr I think one or two of them may have actually done that from the look of how crumbly some of the labels are. 😆
