When I decided it was time to start ripping my tape and (gasp) vinyl collections, I went to an audio equipment repair shop, and bought a used, repaired and abandoned TEAC deck for $50USD -- much better sound quality than I expect from a "boombox" and pretty cheap.
I'll go back for a turntable when we get through another 200 tapes or so.
