If I remember correctly Craig and Panasonic were the big players then. That is a neat idea...a couple things to consider. You will need to find some 8 track tapes that are usable. They tended to wear quickly. The player itself will require some maintenance...the capstan and drive wheel tend to get "sticky" and wind the tape up inside the player. If you want the classic LOOK with modern internals look at this :
