I have one, but the cassette portion is DOA. Like to have a nicer unit with a working cassette deck.

One thing you can do is try a Cassette adapter and see if it works. If the rubber bands in it are gone, I think the head will still work and make contact with either a Bluetooth or wired cassette adapter.

I've not tried it with a failed cassette device but wondered if that would be an option.

I have a Bluetooth one for my 2002 4Runner which works fairly well:

Tried that. It wants to keep anything inserted. Had it professionally evaluated. the problem is a gear no longer available.
