I’ve just taken delivery of a cassette deck bought for £10 (including delivery) from Ebay. Seems to work fine.
This is the first thing I’ve converted from tape to mp3:
mp3: B-Movie - Welcome To The Shrink (1981)
This (I think) is from their John Peel session recorded on 31st March 1981 and broadcast on 7th April 1981. I also think it’s a second generation copy because it fades out early. If memory serves I ran out of tape before the song finished so I "dubbed" it onto another tape and faded just before the break. I don’t think I missed much but it was 27 years ago…

Any tips on the tape--to-->Mp3 conversion?
Yes. I’m using the Numark USB turntable which is pretty much the same as yours.
First I tried connecting the tape deck’s Line Out to the turntable (via dual RCA to stereo jack cable) and the signal wasn’t strong enough. Very weak and tinny.
The way I did it was Tape Deck Line Out to Amplifier Tape Input and Amplifier Pre-Amp Output to USB turntable. This worked well but not all amps have a pre-amp output.
One thing I haven’t tried is headphone output to USB turntable but I think it could work.
Shoot. You guys are putting me off this.
If in doubt get an imic. For the equivalent of 20 squids :
