Don’t care about ‘verb or trem. Front-facing controls preferable. Ideally would be ~40lbs or lower.

One of my daughter's besties lost her dad when she was 5 (fuck cancer) and her mom had to evict her dad's box of cassettes when they moved.
I've kept them in storage ever since. I never knew the dude, but after I went through his tapes, I felt like I did.
She's 15 now, it's time to re-connect her with these tapes.
I don't want to give her a janky vintage boombox that will break and a component stereo/deck probably occupies too much space.

Any tips for an appropriate cassette player greatly appreciated...

Another option, that's even a little cheaper, is the new-ish Fiio CP13:

No idea if it's good, but it caught my eye when it was released.
