Very nice Chris but you are going to need more than that!
CofC is starting to look a bit like a second World maybe third World nation.
How do you keep the 8 track players working in all that old gear you have there?
Third World is better than 2nd World….
There’s this pawn shop in Thailand named 8-Track Pawn. The only place in the world that buys 8-track tapes and 8-track tape player on the planet. Incidentally, there are many members of the Commonwealth that are from 2nd and/or 3rd World legacy countries.

The CoC continues to train, to deploy, to operate. Armor vehicles on the move.

8-track players... Had one. 5 tapes. Hated it. The format sucked. Loud click in the middle of A song when the thing reversed. Did not waste any more money on it. Ditched quicly. Cassettes saved us all.

Yes sir, you are right. Short lived phenomenon. On from use, one track’s music would bleed into the one you were listening too.
