Recording a cassette?

[manifold]

OK I have an 8-track tape with a song on it that almost no one has ever heard of.

I want to copy the music to a cassette tape so I can play it on my Sony Walkman, but when I pressed the play and record buttons at the same time, like it says on the instructions, the recorder made a loud screeching sound and began to smoke.

How do I copy one track from this 8-track?

8-Tracks?

Cassettes?

What is this, 1972?

Easy first you need a working 8 track player....

Then you need 2 matching transformers that is 10K ohm to 8 ohm impediance.
connect the 8 ohm sides to the speakers on the 8 track player. on the 10k ohm dsides of the transformers atach a stereo mini plug (schematic avail on request) or RCA plugs. Connect these to the record inpyt on the casette deck.
Push play on the 8 track and record on the casette assuming the correct ta[pes are in each machine.

Don't be silly. FF to the track you want and get your little cassette microphone real close to the speaker and push record.

Ahh but then it will record your farts as well.

Gee thanks!

I tried this and whereas the recorder was smoking before, it has now burst into flames.

Some help you are.

You really should not have let the smoke out of it.
Once they lose their smoke it is all over.
