Cassette Deck??


Hello All
I found an old box of cassettes I have from the 80's while doing some moving and thought I would like to give them a listen. Can anyone tell me a decent deck I can pick up to add to my system so I can give them a listen? Don't want to spend a lot its just a passing phase. Any ideas and where I might find something? Let me know.
Thanks

kudos to martinmobile for carrying the cassette torch. like him, i've hoarded a gazillion cassettes over the years, including alot of cool stuff which'll never get released on cd, and thus still cling stubbornly to the medium. tapes aren't intrinsically bad sounding--i sometimes prefer a well-recorded tape played on a good deck to disc. the main drawback, as i see it, is that a high percentage of prerecorded tapes are absymally recorded and/or manufactured, and no equipment in the world is gonna make 'em sound listenable.
thanks for the entertaining thread.
