I want one! I have many boxes of old cassettes, and it would be great fun working through them all, a kind of music rediscovery. As it happens, I do have an old Yamaha cassette deck in the garage, but is is well used, and quite battered, a consequence of being thrown into the back of a Transit van for many years. So a nice new one would be splendid. Not too expensive either!

How would you go about connecting this to your system?

Surely it would come with a 1m "bootlace" stereo RCA cable, one red and one white plug at each end, just for old-time's sake...?

Presumably with analogue RCA cables. To be clear, there are no details available for the new Toshiba unit, who knows what it might look like.
The last tape deck that I used did indeed have the cables as recommended by @
thumb5. I still have some in a box of miscellaneous stuff somewhere, I think these are the ones that will provide the authentic 70's / 80's cassette tape sound.
Of course cassette players, much like turntables, have never fully gone away, take these for example:

I did get very excited yesterday by the thought of some super new technology cassette player, but if all I want to do is play my old tapes, I am sure the battered 80's Yamaha deck I have in the garage will be the best for the authentic sound.
I did have a 70's model with wooden case, brushed stainless fascia and VU's meters, and a Technics DBX super special one, and I cannot remember ever getting rid of them. I need to tidy my garage and find out if they are still there! Who knows what might be there? The Technics deck did run slightly slowly last time I used it though, the joys of analogue!
Why have we all our cassette deck at the garage?
That remembers me my Nakamichi. How is "he", after all this years?
I´ll check it out.
