Cassette Decks

Since I'm off until the end of the year, I decided to finally archive a
large quantity of audio cassettes. Unfortunately, when I cranked up my
cassette deck for the first time in a while, it was toast. The logic is
screwed up on the left well such that the door will not open. The pressure
roller on the right side is coated and hard to clean.
There turned out to be a couple of cold solder joints in the power supply,
which I fixed, and that allowed me to get the right deck going, but I
don't have any confidence in the deck. It already ate one tape.
Are the new cassette decks ($300 range) any good? I hate to spend that
much money to buy a deck just to archive, but if I don't, I'm going to end
up finding tapes that I can't play.
Alternatively, does anyone here have a semi-pro deck in great shape to
sell?
You could check eBay for a Sony WM-D6C Professional Walkman.
