Mott the Hoople - The Hoople

This one came to me in a sorry state. The 8-track cassette itself looked like it has been runover or at least dropped from a height onto a hard surface.  One of the inner connection "post" was broken, preventing the cassette from being closed securely.

What was needed was a transplant to a working case.  Of course this "new" case was cleaned with new pressure foam and cleaned capstan roller.  I added a new 3D printed tape protector too.

For this, I also wanted to add a protective slip case case as this was to be on display. I used the same art as for the cassette tape itself.  

Below you can see the before and after.
