Truly the answer for the most annoying of  all 8-track problems...poor fidelity and track bleed-over. Win-Gib 8-Track Revitalizers™ are the easy, drop-in replacement (they don't have to be cut to size!) for the rotted, nasty old pads that exist in almost all 8-track cartridges that originally used foam pads. 

We do get asked about cutting the pads in two so that you don't have to open up the carts. The factory didn't do it that way and we don't do it that way. If it's worth doing, then do it right!
 

Here are some unsolicited comments from some of our customers - I currently use you repair supplies and I am very happy with them! I have repaired many tapes that play like new again! - R. Brenner, Elizabethtown, PA

...just gotta say a massive thanks, spent a couple evenings repairing tapes and had listening session today. I gotta fairly expensive valve based hi fi system and been playing 8 tracks through my Skandia RS-82. OMG the sound is amazing, forget your digital nonsense, this is real music, I'm in audio heaven. Will be ordering again soon. A. Moors, England

You know You are the BEST at making them.  And when I sell My tapes all over Planet Earth,  My Customers are so Happy to have Your Quality pads in Their favorite tapes. B. Mosqueda, IL

They are the best of the best! I have used other pads but these just kick ass. My tapes sound better replacing the other replacement pads that I have used. Yours seem to be right on spec to the original height and thickness for the best fidelity. I've attached a photo with your pads side by side with the other ones I was using. No comparison!  I'm sure the sound difference in the tapes is because of proper contact to the play head. I intend to replace all my tapes with your pads. M. Miuccio, NJ (This is a picture that Mr. Miuccio sent to us - again, unsolicited).

I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. I've tried to emphasize to others how important it is to have well made pads in your 8 track. Even the columbia tapes from the 80s have "decent" pads but they are not as sturdy as yours. I'll likely be ordering another 50 by next week. I just can't thank you enough. I really appreciate it. I want people to know I use your pads....I've tried 2 other kinds from random people on ebay or whatever and they've all been junk. As far as I'm concerned you guys are the only people who make pads that are worth every penny. The others are flimsy, fall apart easy and the ten or so I bought from the guy on ebay already have the top layer that goes over the foam falling off. Total junk. Yours are even cheaper (buying many at a time very cheap) and way better. W. Hawk, WI

Received em' today. All is well. Your quality is so much above any of your competion.  Thanks, Kathy. G. Miller, AR

I grew up with 8-tracks in the 70’s. Got into collecting and doing basic repair of carts about 20 years ago. I’ve used other pads and find the ones with a sticker bottom are useless, I also don’t like having to cut the pad as those seem to never fit right. Best are the Win-Gib pads J. Behrendt, Lansing MI

Hi Kathy!  The foam pads are excellent: it's so nice to hear the music on the tapes I've loved for so long, but with so much better clarity and tone than before! M. Beebe, Houston, TX

I have been buying pads from 2 other suppliers before I found you guys. Yours are far and away the best fit! It is not even close. Thanks again! D. Murphy, Portland, ME

I just wanted to let you know that the repair kit I purchased from you a while back has been put to great use! Everything in the kit is high quality, and has come in handy. I've repaired and reconditioned a bunch of tapes already. In particular, the foam pressure pads are outstanding. The fit and ease of use is the best - in many cases probably better than original! - C. Salerno - Clermont, FL

I have gone through just 1/3 of this roll. Hundreeds of carts saved and machines protected from proper cart service. Thank you - P Simms - Rocky Point, NY

 

 

...I just wanted to let you know that the new pads came a couple of days ago and I finally had a chance to fix a couple of tapes last night. HOLY COW! These pads are great! So much nicer and much easier to use than the homemade things I was cobbling together. And the repaired tapes sound fantastic. I thought this order of 50 would last me for a while, but I have a feeling my 8-track scrounging and purchasing is going to pick up dramatically now that I know I can restore tape fidelity with your replacement pads....
