I have a Craig 3129 Eight track player that I want to put in my van to. I have sold 8track players from 20 to 300 (Player/recorders) Some in-dash car 8tracks are worth 100 or more.

If/when satisfied it's operating properly, I would strongly urge reconditioning any cartridge before attempting to play it. Take the case off and check how the mechanism functions before inserting a tape.
