You could say the exact same thing about the entire computer.
The cable is useful to play files from a phone headphone jack to, not
just actual cassettes.

Wow - you guys actually use cassette regularly? I haven't used it since
the 80s for my TRS-80 Model 1 clone. I thought I am hard-core by
regularly using floppy disks on my Model III...
Cassettes - holy cow.

Unfortunately you do have to order in blocks of 25, but they have
plastic cases, case insert cards, cassette labels that you can print
on your printer, and other tape related supplies available if you are
going for a professional look.
I buy the C-20 audio normal bias tapes, which work great in my CCR-81
with my T102. I have a library of all my programs on tape as a backup
to the copies on my PC. When you want a real retro-computing
experience, work from cassette tape for a day. I haven't had any
trouble with them, but the tapes come WITH LEADER, as opposed to the
Radio Shack "Certified Computer Cassettes", which were leaderless.
Maybe a group order could be arranged if you don't want all 25.

Peter

I just ordered this
https://www.ebay.com/itm/143565229494
Also ordered a bag of 80 or so tape belts of various sizes.
I'll replace the belts but I'm also sure the caps will be replacing.
Anyone sell cap kits for it? I'm going to look for the service manual.
If I can't get it working, it'll be used for parts. He had a cheaper
shipping method available so I took the plunge.
