He will have to take his chances on an old cassette deck - any of which will have line outs.

The OP asked for recommendations. Either you only read half his post or
you posted only to be snotty about it.

It's really hard to make recommendations without knowing the purpose and
the budget. Not everyone needs a Dragon. The best value in a cassette
deck is the one that's in the best condition, and condition isn't really
a function of how good it was when it came out of the box.

And, by the way, the "nominal" line input level is 0 dBu, but the record
volume control works on the line input as well as the mic input. There's
almost certainly some room to turn the line input gain up a bit, since
the manual, in the section about "Recording from cassettes or CDs,"
shows a CD player connected to the Line Input jack. What he's likely to
need is an adapter or cable going from two RCA plugs to a stereo mini
phone plug.

Thanks to all for help and info. I can see that I may have given inadequate
info about my project. I have heard of Ebay, but descriptions and pics do not
indicate presence of line out. I did not know that most decks have that
capability. I am ready to proceed. Ed

The Dragon was a valid suggestion, especially since he never mentioned
a budget. The Tascam was good, too. I have dual-well Tascam (I forget
the model) that would be good, too, since the azimuth can be adjusted.
It didn't cost me much and it's built solid.

I have no intention of recommending any tired old cassette deck to anyone.

And nor should you.

Everybody needs azimuth control. Not everybody needs a Dragon, but if it's
a paying gig the Dragon will pay for itself in a dozen tapes.

Welcome to the lovely world of consumer reference levels. Made worse of
course by cassette decks never being set to proper fluxivity anyway so
the levels to tape are all over also.

God how I hate cassettes.

I wouldn't mind having a fire-breathing Dragon, especially in Usenet!
But, they have been outlawed, Global Warming, you know.

Don't bait Phil.

Cassettes should only be used because you have to.
I say this as the owner of a lot of cassettes.
