Hi,
I am an Electrical Engineering students doing some analog electronics projects. I am currently in need of a simple cassette player circuit schematics that would be able to read the commercial cassette tape (using a magnetic head) and output sound waves to a high impedance speaker. I did some search on Google but only found advertisements about cassette players, and complicated schematics for REAL and commercial players that are obviously impossible for me to build. The circuit needs not produce good sound quality; I am just looking for a simple one that works, i.e. the circuit is able to play some audio (even low quality) to the speaker. It would be preferrable if the circuit is analog and does not use modern ICs. If this is not possible, then any circuits that use cheap and easy-to-find chips are also fine.
The only related circuit I could find on the Net is at
**broken link removed**
which is a schematics for a magnetic stripe reader, such as those used for payphone cards, ATM cards, etc. I wonder if this circuit can be used tor read the cassette tape, if I used the magnetic head salvaged from an old cassette player?
Can anyone help me with this, or at least suggest a website where more information can be found?
Thanks a lot!
