If you mean something like a Walkman, we have a couple of old ones, which are in good shape and working fine. I'd be happy to loan you one. How long do you think you might need it for? We are (on advice of GP) completely self-isolating, but that should not be a problem. We're just off St Anne's Road, near to Green Lanes and The Salisbury. We also have at least one set of "ear-bud" headphones for you to listen to your tapes, or you might prefer to pick up a pair - you can get a lot of different headphones on-line, and the basic ones are fairly inexpensive.

• Hi Christopher. Thank you so much for your offer but its a proper cassette player I need. I think I have a walkman around somewhere too. A piece of history! Thanks again.

OK. Your posting said "portable", so naturally I assumed you meant something that you could carry around with you, that is, portable. And you should know that your old Walkman, that is, old Walkman-type portable cassette players, are often worth more than you might think on Ebay.

Hi Christopher. Yes sorry it wasn't clear. I meant that I wasn't looking for one that was part of a bigger music system with separate speakers etc. Thanks for the tip about the walkmans!

Thanks so much Kate but I do have quite a few blank cassettes. I'm not planning to do any more recording by this way now though!
