I used an early 80s Panasonic tape deck for the same purpose. I plugged my
guitar into the mic input and ran a cord out from the headphone jack into
speaker from a mid-60s suitcase stereo where I had soldered a jack to the
speaker wire hanging out of the back. I then duct taped the tape deck to the
speaker and spray-painted the whole thing with a can of safety orange spray
paint I found by the side of the road where they were paving. The whole rig
cost me about 5 bucks in parts from Radio Shack (the speaker I got out of
the attic and my parents had bought me the tape deck). It was the ugliest
piece of shit you've ever seen but it sounded amazing!
