I have been a fan of resales stores before , and it seems as if the content of resale stores has changed quite a bit within many years and so. A lot of thrift stores are selling less and less vintage electronics. I think most still carry records, CDs, and tapes. Many have audio tapes, but one thing that you used to see a lot of that you hardly see anymore: Do you ever remember seeing self-made audio tapes? That is, recordable audio tapes with radio recorded material. Just today I found a tape of programs from KBXX-FM 97.9 in Houston. And on another tape I found a few minutes of something recorded from KRBE 104.1 FM from the same city one of it was Summer of 2004, and the other was March 2005. This was at my local Value Village. So they had some, but not very many. I remember back when sometimes they would have some of my homemade audio tapes before from 1996 and 2001. But many resales stores were carrying old ones.l. I think it may be because of copyright issues, or their authorities, but surely enough, to most people, audio clips recorded off radio seem worthless, but definitely not to us classic radio fans.

Self Made Audio Tapes at resale stores
- Thread starter scene2013

I used to stumble onto those kind of mix tapes at thrift stores about 15 years ago when people were getting rid of their cassette collections. If they had call letters written on them, I'd grab it.
Sometimes I'd find a good one (A blue Scotch highlander cassette with KOMA 1520 Top 40 from 1976) but most had the DJ and commercials edited out.

Oh I just love 8-tracks.. most likely the pressure pad has deteriorated.
I have a 8-track that someone gave me years ago of around 60 minutes of KFWD-FM 102.1 (later KTXQ now KDGE) in Dallas from 1976. After I replaced the pressure pad and also replaced the metal splice tape that changes tracks, the tape sounded better and I was able to copy it to a cassette.
