vintage gear esp. tuners with controls on top


My vintage stereo rack has a spot for a turntable, but my turntable is now on a semi-wall mounted unit for better isolation. The spot the turntable is recessed, essentially imagine a box with no top you would have accessed the turntable from above.

But this is an opportunity, right! I could relive my life in the late 80s with a Tandberg cassette deck, but I dunno, can I really run that through my Vandersteen Quatros? Moreover, just what would I do with a cassette deck? Play one of my twenty cassette tapes?

A tuner would be ideal, but is there any decent tuner out there that has its controls on top?

Or any other gear that I can stick in there that'd make sense?

Hi Intermediatic,
I can't quite envision your rack setup requiring controls on top. My tuner gets MUCH play time, I am in metro NYC area. There are many fine vintage Tuner examples available at very reasonable bargains.
Btw, my personal picture of vintage is 1960's and older, but that's just me.
Your Vandersteen Quatros are very nice speakers.
