Hi George

Yes I found this one thanks to Christopher's posting but as you say cassettes are quickly becoming history and I was looking to finally get rid of the last of mine. So £105 in those circumstances is a little rich. However I rather like Andrew's solution of a USB soundcard and plug a normal deck into the line in socket. I can buy a reasonably decent one from Maplin's for £12 something. I assume I would be needing some speakers or I'm back to the grovelling again but I have several surplus pairs of them laying around. A jury rig agreed but it's only needed for as long as it takes to clear the last of my cassettes. So am I correct in my assumptions or is there something I'm missing?

Many thanks to all who responded

Hi Roger,

There is a very nice one, costing £105, available from:

I know the prices will probably frighten off many people,
however I think it's worth remembering that cassette decks
are now virtually history as far as a piece of hardware are
concerned.  Indeed I was only able to find this one on
Google UK.

George.

I was wondering if such a thing as a cassette player fitted
into a PC bay like a CD player exists. I know a cassette
player can be easily connected via the sound card but mine
is at the back of the tower in the pedestal of the desk and
often involves grovelling.

I think the answer is no but hopefully I may be wrong.
