I would buy a Tascam DP-004 which you record directly to SD card via RCA to 1/4 stereo plugs then transfer SD card to laptop. Or for a Desktop purchase a PCI soundcard such as a M-Audio 2496 soundcard which has stereo RCA in/out.

http://www.casstape.com.au/ This place is in Melbourne Australia CATS that I have ordered tape cassettes from over the phone and had no issues. It seems they have RMGI 1/2" in stock.

If I purchase the 238 I will have to purchase a mixer and leads which will be costly you are correct. I am tending to believe the 238 is a more professional recorder though c...

TASCAM 644 MIDISTUDIO or Tascam 238 Syncaset Professional

What would be preferable to purchase. They are both the same price second-hand but the 238 is an 8 track, and the 644 is a 4 track and has midi. There are pro and cons for buying either but I cannot decide. What would others recommend.
