8 track wiring

Hey guys
When i bought my truck i pulled the old stereo and installed a CD player. Anyway i was going to hook up the old to see if it worked so icould sell it on Ebay. It is an 8 track AM/FM player. the wires on the back are Black, yellow, white, blue, a thick red and a thin red. Can someone tell me which wires go to what?
Thanks
David

I am not sure what the date code is but here is the info on the rear of the radio. This is how it appears on the radio.

Auoivox
MODEL TM-2000
8 Track Car Stereo Tape player with
AM/FM MPX. Radio
540-1600Khz/88-108MHz
12V NEG. GND
MADE IN Japan 2682C


Maybe its not stock. I just figured it was since it looks fairly old.
Thanks
David

I can get as many as you want for about
$5.00 each.

An original ford 8-track might fetch you $15-20

Just my 2 cents but audiovox never made anything worth installing. Id throw it away as you dont get much $$ out of it
