Panasonic EQ-NX60V in new condition works great pretty good sound for a Panasonic and has TPS music search.

i got one also about a year ago for almost the same price. they are pretty much an all metal player. they are very similar to several other panasonics of a few years ago. these seem to pop up here and there and they always seem to be in excellant condition. the only drawback for me is that the auto-rev. just makes one sweep of both sides and then shuts off. i have really no complaints for the 9.00 at all.....

Looks like the tape mechanism uses mostly metal parts.

That is not expensive!
