Yep, as the title says, I need a cheapo tape deck.

I have an assy Aiwa minisystem thing with a tape player in it, and I could use its line-out function, but that seems to be affected by the volume control on the player so that's not what I want.

I need the deck to record tapes onto my computer.

Ultra-high quality isn't the highest concern, since really all I need this for is hardcore techno mixtapes. But I don't want junk, either.

Anyone have any suggestions? Or where to buy? I guess I should browse local classifieds...

Thanks!

Ol' Craigslist. The Onkyo and Nakamichi looks good.

Tascam makes great tape decks which go for under 20$ on ebay a lot.

Ah, well, I ended up going for a Kenwood on eBay, actually...

Looks good. I think it'll suit my purposes just fine.

I don't think you could find a worse deck then that. So, it "looks" good? O.K. then.......

Ah well... I think I'll live. Mixtapes aren't really the last word in fidelity anyway.

Anything is better than my godawful minisystem deck...
