Cassette Tape Player for Apple II Advice

[Bryan Villados <news001@nospam_macgeek.org>]

Hi, guys!

I just purchased an Apple II (not the II+, II). And, I'm
re-constructing the system to that of the year 1978 (it's for an Apple
Museum I own). I have the cassette tapes that came with the unit (Star
Wars/Star Trek, Breakout, etc.) But what I need is a cassette tape
player/recorder that will work with the Apple II.

According to the "Red Book", "... the Apple II needs a signal of about
2 1/2 to 5 volts peak-to-peak". And, they're recommending the Panasonic
RQ-309 DS as a unit that works best. My ultimate goal would be to get
that exact model or a similar tape player that was made around that era
(1977-1978 time) so the configuration stays within the time context
(i.e. it will throw the configuration off if I were to use a tape
player that was made years later, such as 1998).

If anyone knows of any place that sells cassette tape players that
still work and was made around 1977-1978, and that will work with the
Apple II, I'd be interested in purchasing.

If you reply by e-mail, remove the "nospam_" from my e-mail address.

Thanks!!!!
