tape decks
Obsolete audio hardware
Tape decks are audio devices that play and record magnetic tape, typically cassettes.
Unlike portable players, a tape deck is a component in a stereo system—it has no built-in speakers or amplifier.
The term evokes home audio setups from the 1970s through 1990s: He recorded mixtapes on his tape deck.
