What is one of these little buggers worth? I think it is a heat sink of sorts for the 8 track player. it was mounted under the dash attached to one of the braces. Is it a rare part? I would think it would be the piece that somebody might forget to remove. I found the name of it on Pg431 of the assembly manual.

Thanks

Scott

nobody have any ideas?

Any pics? I have never heard of this one...

Does it still have the transistors, wiring and brackets attached?

It is worth quite a bit, especially to someone who may have an 8-track player but is missing the heat sink. The 8-track player will not work without the heat sink. You are right that it is a part that most don't take out, hence the reason many players and heat sinks become separated. I sold a 1969 8-track player with matching heat sink and complete uncut wiring harness on ebay about six months ago for $1800. I can't put a dollar value on the heat sink by itself but I'd say at least a few hundred.

Hmmm, a buddy of mine had a '69Z back in the day with an 8 track and it was mounted backwards on the console just ahead of the rear ashtray. I am pretty sure it came from the factory that way unless the dealer installed it before delivery.

Alan,
It came from the factory that way.

Yep, that's it.

Hmmm, it is more than a heatsink, does anyone know what it does exactly? With those transistors, is it a remote amplifier for the 8 track?
