cool 8 track player i found

I recently found this 8 track player at a garage sale, i wish i could use it but i currently dont have any 8 track tapes to use. makes me mad because i was about to buy some 8 tracks a few months ago at another garage sale but i didn't have an 8 track player. i know it works because i pushed the lever inside it to make it spin but im not entirely sure if the rope or rubber band is still existing inside it. maybe next time i post ill have an 8 track tape to test it and open it if the thing isn't working, or ill just open it for fun and see how it works and do some maintenance on it.
