What do you do with an 8 Track cartridge with a bad or missing pressure pad? Just load it up on the Roberts 848X and "push PLAY." Wait a second, don't 8 Track cartridges play automatically when you insert them into the unit? Not this 8 Track cartridge deck, it has a full set of controls usually found on a reel-to-reel or Compact Cassette player/deck. What's with those "Pause" and "Record" buttons? Press "PLAY" and you will be intrigued...
